Ingredients
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
Optional: fresh herbs, diced vegetables, cooked bacon bits
Instructions
1. Crack eggs into a microwave-safe mug (12-ounce capacity recommended)
2. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly with a fork
3. Add butter and microwave for 30 seconds at 70% power
4. Remove and stir vigorously. Microwave another 30 seconds
5. Add half the cheese, stir, and microwave 30 more seconds

Notes
Microwave power varies, so adjust timing accordingly. Start with shorter intervals to avoid overcooking.
Stir frequently for best results to ensure even cooking and prevent hot spots.
Add delicate ingredients like fresh herbs after cooking to preserve their flavor and color.
Choose a wide mug rather than tall and narrow for more even cooking.
Leave at least 1 inch of space at the top to prevent overflow.
