Instructions
- Beat the eggs and milk: Use a fork to beat together the eggs, whole milk, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe jug until the mixture is well combined.
- First microwave interval: Cook the egg mixture in the microwave on High power for 30 seconds, then carefully remove and beat the eggs again to ensure even cooking.
- Second microwave interval: Return the jug to the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds on High, then beat the eggs once more to break up any lumps.
- Third microwave interval: Microwave for an additional 15 seconds on High, then beat the eggs again; at this stage, the eggs will be loose and soft. You can serve immediately if you prefer softer eggs.
- Optional firmer eggs: If you want your scrambled eggs firmer, microwave for a further 15 seconds, beat once more, then serve.

- Add pepper or herbs like chives for additional flavor if desired.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture as the eggs continue to cook slightly even after microwaving.
