Titli's Tips
Quantities and times given are for one egg. For example, double the quantities and the microwave cooking times to scramble 2 eggs. Times are based on a 900W microwave oven.

The point of cooking then whisking is to make the scrambled egg “scrambled”, otherwise the end result is more like an omelette.
