A Note on This Recipe
Microwave eggs get a bad reputation, but this recipe is here to change that, with eggs that come out fluffy, soft, and genuinely good.
The trick is in two small details. First, use a small cup, something in the 5 oz range works well for 2 eggs. A smaller cup means the eggs cook faster and more evenly, so you don’t end up with tough edges while the center is still runny. The second trick is the timing: don’t microwave straight through, go in short bursts, giving the heat a chance to even out between rounds. This lets the eggs set gently rather than overcooking in one go.
