I do scrambled eggs and omelets in the microwave all of the time. You've actually got a good start because a scrambled egg is just an egg cracked and beaten with a fork. So, you would just poke the yoke a few times as you usually do, then use a quick back and forth motion to whisk the yoke and white around in the mug until the yoke and white are thoroughly combined. Then add a teaspoon or so of water to the mix and give it a gentle stir. I don't know why, but eggs in the microwave taste better with water. Someone told me that a long time ago and I didn't believe it, I was always a milk person, but for the microwave, it seems to work better than milk and makes the eggs fluffier.. I have my favorite egg cooker. . . A silicone omelet maker I got at Target last year. It's designed to be used either opened or closed, and it does a great job with just scrambled eggs or omelets. It's a single piece of silicone that folds in half. To start you crack eggs and whisk them as if making scrambled eggs and pour them into the maker when it's unfolded and laid out flat. Cook for about a minute or a minute and 20 seconds, depending on the number of eggs and the wattage of your microwave. Then remove the maker from the microwave and add your omelet ingredients, bacon, cheese, sausage, veggies. . Whatever you want. Then carefully fold the silicone in half. There are raised pieces at one end that line up with wholes in the other side of the maker, so it fits perfectly and isn't hard to line up. Pop it back in the microwave and cook for another 45 seconds to a minute. If you just want to scramble a few eggs, you can just pull the maker out after a minute or so and stir things gently with a fork, then pop it back in for thirty seconds or so. This would also be when you could add cheese if you like scrambled eggs with cheese. The downside to this omelet maker is that it's small, only three or so eggs will work well. The first time I made a three egg omelet I put in a bunch of cheese and bacon and it was a bit runny. I cooked it for a few seconds longer, and it was cooked all right, but there was some egg juice in the microwave. The finished omelet was good, though. I believe the Blind Mice Mall sells a silicone omelet maker. If not, they're about $10 or so at Wall Mart, Target, even Amazon. You could also try silicone muffin pans, even the larger sized muffin pans would work. Silicone is nonstick and very easy to clean. If you clean it right and take care of it it will last and not take on smells of cooked items. Hope this helps some.

Re: [CnD] Milk Or Water
Milk polymerizes with heat, so eggs made with it will tend to be more rubbery than if you use water.

I do scrambled eggs and omelets in the microwave all of the time. You've actually got a good start because a scrambled egg is just an egg cracked and beaten with a fork.

I have my favorite egg cooker. . . A silicone omelet maker I got at Target last year. It's designed to be used either opened or closed, and it does a great job with just scrambled eggs or omelets. It's a single piece of silicone that folds in half. To start you crack eggs and whisk them as if making scrambled eggs and pour them into the maker when it's unfolded and laid out flat. Cook for about a minute or a minute and 20 seconds, depending on the number of eggs and the wattage of your microwave. Then remove the maker from the microwave and add your omelet ingredients, bacon, cheese, sausage, veggies. . Whatever you want. Then carefully fold the silicone in half. There are raised pieces at one end that line up with wholes in the other side of the maker, so it fits perfectly and isn't hard to line up. Pop it back in the microwave and cook for another 45 seconds to a minute. If you just want to scramble a few eggs, you can just pull the maker out after a minute or so and stir things gently with a fork, then pop it back in for thirty seconds or so. This would also be when you could add cheese if you like scrambled eggs with cheese. The downside to this omelet maker is that it's small, only three or so eggs will work well. The first time I made a three egg omelet I put in a bunch of cheese and bacon and it was a bit runny. I cooked it for a few seconds longer, and it was cooked all right, but there was some egg juice in the microwave. The finished omelet was good, though. I believe the Blind Mice Mall sells a silicone omelet maker. If not, they're about $10 or so at Wall Mart, Target, even Amazon. You could also try silicone muffin pans, even the larger sized muffin pans would work. Silicone is nonstick and very easy to clean. If you clean it right and take care of it it will last and not take on smells of cooked items. Hope this helps some.

I do scrambled eggs and omelets in the microwave all of the time. You've actually got a good start because a scrambled egg is just an egg cracked and beaten with a fork.

It's a single piece of silicone that folds in half. To start you crack eggs and whisk them as if making scrambled eggs and pour them into the maker when it's unfolded and laid out flat.

Then remove the maker from the microwave and add your omelet ingredients, bacon, cheese, sausage, veggies. . Whatever you want. Then carefully fold the silicone in half. There are raised pieces at one end that line up with wholes in the other side of the maker, so it fits perfectly and isn't hard to line up. Pop it back in the microwave and cook for another 45 seconds to a minute. If you just want to scramble a few eggs, you can just pull the maker out after a minute or so and stir things gently with a fork, then pop it back in for thirty seconds or so.
