How to Microwave Scrambled Eggs (Tips)
- Base timing: start with our base timing and keep stirring and adding additional microwave cooking time of 15 seconds until the eggs are perfect to your preference.
- Seasoning: make sure to salt the eggs for ultimate flavor. Under-seasoned scrambled eggs just don’t taste as good, no matter what technique you use.
- What type of cheese to use? You can use any type of good melting cheese. Our favorite is still cheddar cheese or even parmesan cheese.
- Make sure to cover the bowl so that you don’t have splattered egg in the microwave. Just make sure it’s a microwave safe cover.

Microwave Safe Dishware

Notes
- 600-800w – Lower Wattage Microwaves: More time often needed
- 900-1100w – Average Wattage Microwaves
- 1200-1300w – High Wattage Microwaves: Less time often needed
- Microwave safe glass (particularly borosilicate glass) & ceramic containers are the recommended choice. *Do not use cracked or otherwise damaged containers.
- Microwave safe plastic containers are considered safe by the FDA but many health organizations caution against using them.
- Never use plastics (containers, bags, wrap, etc.) that are not labeled microwave safe. Never use styrofoam, metal, or aluminum foil.
- Lids – microwave safe glass, ceramic or silicone is best. A microwave safe plate works great as a lid. Parchment paper, wax paper, or paper towels work fine, but may not hold the steam in as much (many recipes benefits from the steam retention). Microwave safe plastic lids are considered acceptable. Usually we prefer to use a lid from glass, ceramic, or silicone and just use the microwave safe plastic lids that come with the containers for storing.

I made these microwave cheesy scrambled eggs and they were great! I did add some dry minced onions thyme leaves garlic powder and the eggs were even yummier
Thank you for this. I used one egg and about 1/2-3/4 cup of cooked elbow macaroni, along with the oil, milk, salt and pepper. I added cheddar and Parmesan at the end. I don’t know what you call it but it was delicious. I’ll try to add some spinach or peas next time.
it’s so crazy how you can actually cook scrambled eggs in the microwave so perfectly. the cheese was a nice touch.
This is my favorite way to get a good, healthy start to the day. Microwave eggs are so light and fluffy! I like to add cut up baby spinach and mushrooms with three onion rub and bell pepper seasoning for a change of pace.
