Yum! This was delicious and satisfying! I cut it down to a single serving, using 2 eggs, 1 t. butter, 2 t. milk (I used evaporated milk) and used a wedge of Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss Cheese. Following the cooking directions, total time cooked in microwave was just over a minute. Served with a little salsa on top and the green onions made it extra tasty. Thanks so much for posting...it's a keeper!

These were yummy and how easy to be able to prepare them in the microwave. I did make this lighter by using half the butter and 2/3 the cream cheese - but they were still rich and delicious. I was surprised just how well the microwave worked, and the cream cheese gave them a really nice added creaminess. I chose a 4 cup glass measuring cup, and that was good, it did bubble up quite a bit. Made a full recipe for the two of us served with toast. They even reheat beautifully (DH had his serving later, and I tasted them also). I bet this method would work even without the cream cheese (plain scrambled eggs) - I will be interested to give that a try sometime too.

I, too, was hesitant to microwave eggs, but these were far easier and fluffier than I thought. Easier clean-up than stove eggs as well. I served them on a slice of toasted rye bread to extend the NYC theme! (Used 2 eggs, for 2 people - it was plenty; my photo is what it looks like when you don't mix in the cream cheese!)

I was skeptical that microwaved eggs could actually come out fluffy and creamy, but these really do! I just wanted a single serving, so I used 2 eggs, half a tablespoon of butter, and a generous splash of milk (plus the rest of the ingredients to taste). Simple, quick and tasty, exactly what I need in the morning! Thanks for posting! Made for CQ 2016 NYC for Team Iota Eta Pi

I began cooking as a kid with my mom. I cook mostly Mexican food, but my best recipes are the ones that I improvise at the last minute! Especially desserts, which I love to cook, but always forget to write down.
I'm a stay at home mom of three kids- 2 boys (3 & 5years old) and a 1 year old baby girl. My husband and I have been married for nearly 8 years.
I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have made my recipes and even took the time to review and/or photograph them. I appreciate every one of them!
