Microwave Cooked Scrambled Eggs Picture Book Recipe

Last post showed how to make stove cooked scrambled eggs all very easily and with 2 quick tips.

  1. Add just a little salt before cooking the eggs to help break down proteins in the eggs so that they turn out soft & fluffy, not fork-bouncing hard and rubbery. You should do the same thing here when cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave oven.
  2. Make sure the pan is warmed to the right cooking temperature before starting to cook the eggs. No need to do that when cooking with a microwave oven.

I will say that the first time I heard of microwave cooked scrambled eggs, I laughed, “No way!”

But then just for humor’s sake, I tried ’em – nose close to the microwave as shown here – and couldn’t believe my eyes.

Nose to Microwave OvenEven better, I couldn’t believe how flavorfully they turned out, how easy it was to put them together, and how little there was to cleanup as I could mix, cook, and eat the eggs from the same bowl. Great!

Here’s all you need for ingredients.

Pan Cooked Scrambled EggsQuite a few years ago, I asked as many people as I could “What’s the first thing you’d want to show someone new to the kitchen how to cook?” The overwhelming answer: eggs! 

In the next few posts, I’ll show how to make eggs quickly and easily both on the stove and in the microwave oven. Right now, I’ll start with scrambled eggs and two easy tips to ensure your scrambled eggs turn out fluffy and tender, not rubbery.

Tip one: adding just a light dash of salt, as shown in the palm of my hand here, to the eggs before cooking them…

…not only enhances scrambled egg flavor, it also ensures the eggs will turn out soft and fluffy, not tough and rubbery, as shown in the contrasting pictures below, because that little bit of salt helps break down some of the proteins in the eggs.

Tip two: make sure to heat the pan you’re using to the proper cooking temperature. To check the temperature, wet your fingers with tap water, and flick the water onto the hot pan surface. The pan is properly heated when the water sizzles and evaporates on the pan surface – but not so hot that it immediately turns to steam.

Scrambled Eggs with Sausage, Bell Pepper & CheeseThis full-on flavor recipe combines the protein power of eggs and sausage, fresh zest of red bell pepper and shallots and richness of Parmesan cheese – all in one pan.
