They said it couldn't be done. Ha! This is the quickest, easiest and cleanest way to make scrambled eggs for one.

Ingredients

To serve

  • 1–2 slices of bread, toasted
  • salted butter, for spreading

Method

  1. Crack the eggs into a microwavable bowl and season. Whisk well with a fork until completely combined and there are some bubbles on the surface.

  2. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir with a fork. If necessary, microwave again in 10-second bursts, until almost set. Remember, it will continue cooking a little when removed from the microwave. Stir again and set aside for 30 seconds.

  3. Butter your toast and tip the egg on top. Serve.

Recipe tips

Add a dash of milk or cream to the eggs before microwaving if you prefer silky eggs.

Microwaves vary; the eggs may be almost set after 30 seconds or they may take a minute.
