I can only eat so much oatmeal and peanut butter toast without getting bored. I started making scrambled eggs in the microwave to break up the breakfast monotomy at work! I serve these alongside a piece of whole wheat toast and a glass of vegetable juice. In order to cut down on unhealthy cholesterol but keep the healthy protein, I use only one egg yolk; three works fine too (just increase the water [or milk] to 3 T). I'll sometimes make these at home when I need a quick breakfast.
Ingredients:
-
1 large
egg
, including yolk
-
2
egg whites
-
salt and pepper
(I like to use jalapeno salt by Anthony Spices)
-
2 tablespoons water (I just use a large kitchen spoon as my measuring tool) or 2 tablespoons
milk
(I just use a large kitchen spoon as my measuring tool)
Directions:
1
Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.
2
Scramble well with a fork.
3
Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
4
Stir.
5
Microwave on high for 15 seconds.
6
Stir.
7
Continue microwaving on high for 15-second increments until cooked to your liking.
