Rice Cooker Scrambled Eggs

Tish's Note:

Why not use the appliance that sits in the cabinet for more things than the expected. When you have guests this is a great way to make eggs and keep them warm for when people get up in waves. Good for a buffet breakfast too! Might also be a great way for the dorm kids to make their own breakfast?

Very interesting use of the rice cooker. I put about 2 tsp. of olive oil in the rice cooker plus some green onion. When they were hot I added 3 eggs, stirred, and closed the lid expecting to come back in a few minutes to stir. About 5 minutes later the eggs were a perfect omelet! It was tasty but not exactly what I expected!

I made this this morning! I also used 3 eggs. I sliced a few mushrooms and green onions, put them on cook first with a little butter. After they cooked a bit, I added the eggs, with a little water, and some precooked bacon bits. Hit cook. After 4 minutes the button popped. I stirred the eggs, and hit cook again and pushed the toast down. By the time the toast was done, so were the eggs. Nice quick breakfast! My hungry stomach thanks you. Will make this again for sure.
