(No Oil) Scrambled Eggs in Microwave Oven


Making scrambled eggs is a little messy and time-consuming task. In order to make it soft we tend to add lots of oil and that's not a healthy thing to do.

So, here's a simple way to make scrambled eggs and without adding any oil at all.

Preparation time - About 3 minutes for 2 eggs.

Ingredients (per egg)

  • 1 egg
  • 2-3 tsp of water (Approximately)

For Garnishing - You can use salt, coriander leaves, mint leaves, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes etc. 

Method:

I used two eggs here. For more or less eggs, check the ingredients section. For two eggs we needed 3 rounds of 30 second cooking in the microwave oven. If the eggs are more in number, you may require more number of rounds in the microwave. Please experiment and find out.

The added water lets the egg cook in itself and doesn't need oil. Without the water, the eggs will dry out quickly.


WARNING - PLEASE DO NOT SET FOR 1.5 MINUTES AT ONE GO TO MAKE IT EASIER. RESULTS MAY NOT BE THE SAME AS YOU SEE BELOW.

WARNING - THE EGGS COULD BE STEAMING WHEN DONE, SO HANDLE THE BOWL CAREFULLY TO AVOID STEAM BURNS

1. Take a microwave safe bowl. Break the eggs and pour the egg yolks and whites into it.


2. Add 5-6 tsps of water and beat it well.


3. Place it inside the microwave oven and set it for 30 seconds at full power.


4. After 30 seconds, take out the bowl. It will look like this, mostly liquid.

5. Take spoon and mix it well. Put it back in the microwave and give it another 30 second run.

6. Take out the bowl after 30 seconds. Now it will be more semi-solid (almost like a soft omelette) and less liquid.

7. Mix again with spoon and break it into small pieces. Give it another spin for 30 seconds.

8. After 30 seconds, take it out. Now the eggs would be ready, soft and fluffy. NOTE - If you find that the water content is still high, put it through additional rounds in the microwave, never more than 30.

9. Mix again nicely and then you can garnish it as per your preference. Your scrambled eggs are ready. I've sprinkled some black pepper on the eggs.

We mostly add a little dash of virgin olive oil or virgin coconut oil to the scrambled eggs. We mostly add black pepper and some salt to our scrambled eggs.
