Scrambled Eggs
This can be prepared to make one or two
servings. If you are preparing for just one person,
use only 2 eggs and see note within the recipe for
reducing the cooking time.
Makes 2 servings
½ tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. Put butter into a 2-cup glass measuring cup or
bowl. Put into the Cuisinart
®
Microwave Oven
and microwave on Medium-High (PL7) for 25
seconds to melt. Allow to cool for one minute.
2. Break eggs into the cup, add water, and whisk
to blend. Microwave, uncovered, on High
(PL10) for 1½ minutes (if cooking only 2 eggs,
cook for 45 seconds). Stir to break up solids
into curds. Microwave, uncovered on High
(PL10) again for an additional 30 seconds, until
creamy and rm, but still moist. Stir to reach
preferred consistency – eggs will continue to
cook even after the microwave has stopped –
resist the urge to cook longer; they will be at
a safe temperature at 165°F. If drier eggs are
preferred, add an additional 10 to 15 seconds
on High (PL10) after the second stirring.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper and
serve warm.
Omelet Variations
Scrambled eggs can easily be transformed
into an herb and cheese omelet. After whisking
eggs, add 1 tablespoon shredded cheese of
your choice, and 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh
herbs (such as dill, parsley and/or thyme).
Continue with cooking instructions for eggs as
above.
