Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs and water in a small bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the eggs to the bowl and microwave at 50% power for 20-second increments, stirring with a fork between each increment. Cook just until set.
  • Season with salt the pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the eggs. Cook for short intervals at reduced power to avoid rubbery, dense eggs.
  • Resist the urge to substitute milk or cream for the water. Water makes the eggs fluffier and lighter by creating steam.
  • As with most egg dishes, these scrambled eggs are best enjoyed promptly
