Step-by-Step Instructions

In a microwave-safe jug or deep bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and a pinch of salt using a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Place the jug in the microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir well with the fork to incorporate the cooked edges into the liquid center.

Return to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Remove and beat again, breaking up any large lumps of egg to ensure a uniform texture.

Check the consistency; if you prefer them loose, serve immediately. For firmer eggs, microwave in further 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until they reach your desired doneness. Serve hot with toasted bread.

Chef's Tips

For the best results, use a narrow jug rather than a wide bowl to help the eggs rise and stay fluffy. Avoid overcooking, as the eggs will continue to firm up slightly from residual heat once removed from the microwave. You can stir in a teaspoon of butter or a sprinkle of chives at the end for extra flavor.
