Note
For a larger batch serving two, use a 10-ounce microwave-safe cup or cereal bowl. Double the ingredients: 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons butter, and 2 tablespoons milk. Cook for 45 seconds, stir well, then cook for another 30 seconds.
Always ensure your container is microwave-safe. A standard custard cup works best for single servings to prevent overflow.
If you prefer softer eggs, reduce the final cooking time. If you like them firmer, add 10-15 seconds to the final cook time.
You can add a pinch of salt and pepper or a dash of hot sauce before cooking for extra flavor.
