Steps
- Take a large microwaveable cup/mug. Oil it up on the inside.
- Now, break two eggs and put them inside the cup.
- Put in 1 tablespoon of milk (you can take one tablespoon of water as well but milk will give you a creamier and fluffier texture). This will ensure that your eggs have enough moisture to cook. Otherwise, they’ll probably explode.
- Add in a quarter teaspoon of salt, a quarter teaspoon of pepper, and all the vegetables you’ve prepared along with the cheese.
- Give all of that a good mix and place the cup into the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Once done, carefully take the cup out and give it a quick mix before placing it back into the microwave for 30 more seconds.
- Take the cup out again, give it a mix, and place it back into the microwave for a final 30 seconds.
- Keep in mind that the timing may vary based on how powerful your microwave is. It can vary between 20 to 30 seconds per round.
- After that’s done, you’ll get a perfectly cooked soft omelet!
