Scrambled eggs are perhaps the easiest dish to whip up in a microwave. This recipe takes just 2 minutes to prepare. All you need is a microwave, eggs, and garnishing of your choice. It’s an egg-cellent idea and takes absolutely no time to conjure up. Here are the ingredients required for the recipe and a step-by-step preparation guide.

2-Minute Scrambled Eggs with Cheese in a microwave — **2-Minute Scrambled Eggs with Cheese**

Ingredients: 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, and salt, pepper, and any other herbs you choose to use. Personally, I enjoy tossing a little parsley to the mix.
Directions:

Coat a 12 oz. microwave-safe coffee mug or another dish with cooking spray.
Add eggs and milk to it and beat till blended.
Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds and then stir. Microwave until the eggs are almost set, 30 to 45 seconds longer.
Top with cheese and season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Serve hot.

2. Microwave-Poached Egg on Toast

Not just for your breakfast egg, but your microwave can also come handy for your lunch egg. Lentils, brown rice or a salad can be elevated from a side dish to a main dish with a tender, poached egg on top. Here’s how to make quick, freshly poached eggs in a microwave.

Ingredients: To poach an egg you need 1 or 2 eggs, 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1/3 cup of water.
Directions:

Fill a microwave-safe mug or small bowl with 1/3 cup water and a splash of vinegar. The vinegar is optional, but it will help the egg to coalesce a little better.
Gently crack an egg or two into this mug or bowl, making sure it’s covered in water. Make sure to prick the egg with a toothpick or a fork to prevent any explosions.
Cover your mug or bowl with a small microwave-safe plate and microwave on HIGH for a minute. The egg white should be set but the yolk still runny.
If the egg white is still runny then microwave it for another 10 or 20 seconds.
Unlike poaching eggs on the stovetop, the microwave tends to cook the yoke faster than the egg white. If you prefer your egg white a little softer then you need to take it out a little earlier.
After this, remove the egg from the water with a slotted spoon. Transfer it to a plate. Season it with a little salt and pepper to relish it. Enjoy on a toast, on a salad or the way u would like to have it.

3. Eggs Florentine

Eggs Florentine is a dish that owes its name to the French. The French word associated with Spinach took the place of ham in Eggs Benedict. The dish traditionally contains mushroom and spinach introduced by Catherine de Medici. To craft this yummy Eggs Florentine dish, here’s what you need to do.

Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 tsp coconut oil, 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp thinly sliced baby spinach, 1 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese, 3-4 sliced grape or cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, salt, and ground black pepper. Personally, I prefer adding a little garlic to add to its fragrance.
Directions:

Take a bowl and add coconut oil to it. Add eggs, water, spinach, and mushrooms and beat them all until they blend.
Add garlic if u wish to until it is fragrant for about 1 minute.
Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds and then stir gently. Wait until the eggs start to firm.
Keep a check on the spinach and mushrooms so that it’s cooked properly.
Microwave for another 45 seconds or a minute until the egg is set.
Season it will salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over this mixture and wait until the cheese starts to soften for about 5 minutes.
Top it with grapes or tomatoes as per your taste.

4. Coffee Cup Quiche

Ingredients: 1 egg, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons milk, salt, ground black pepper, 1/4 of a bagel (or similar amount of French bread), 2 teaspoons cream cheese, fresh thyme leaves or fresh chopped chives, dijon mustard.
