Ingredients
- Two free-range eggs
- Splash of milk
- Pinch salt and freshly ground pepper
- Two slices of bread, toasted
- Salted butter, for spreading
Method
- Break the eggs into a microwavable bowl and season with salt and pepper. Beat thoroughly with a fork until fully combined and some bubbles appear on the surface.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir with a fork. If necessary, microwave again in 10-second intervals until the eggs have nearly set.
- Bear in mind they will carry on cooking slightly once taken out of the microwave due to residual heat. Stir once more and leave to stand for 30 seconds.
- Butter your toast and spoon the egg on top. Serve straight away.
This method frees up precious time during hectic mornings and delivers delicious scrambled eggs with minimal effort.
