How to Make a Microwave Southwest Scramble

I love cooking eggs for breakfast. However, my omelets end up being more scrambled than the fancy folded-over works of art served in restaurants. With that in mind, I’m usually looking for quick and creative scrambled eggs ideas. I was on the American Egg Board site and found this recipe for what I like to call a Microwave Southwest Scramble. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and only 2 minutes to cook.

Eggs contain zero carbs and no sugar. That means you can eat a well-rounded breakfast during the week without feeling round yourself.  They are an inexpensive source of high quality protein and a source of Vitamin D.

Here’s the recipe!

Microwave Southwest Scramble

• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. milk
• 2 Tbsp. cheddar cheese
• 1 ½ Tbsp. salsa
• Pinch each salt and pepper
   

Crack eggs into a bowl.

Add other ingredients.

Whisk ingredients together.

Spray a 12-ounce mug with cooking spray.

Pour ingredients into mug.

Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir.

Cook for another 70-80 seconds or until eggs have puffed up and are set.

I’m still determined to master how to make an omelet. Maybe I’ll try this Microwave Mexican Omelet. But in the meantime, this Southwest Scramble suits me fine. Let us know your favorite egg recipes on our Facebook page or on Twitter.
