Mornings are not fun in our house. No one is a morning person. So when it comes to breakfast, we just hope we remember to eat. We have lived on pop tarts and baggies filled with dry cereal. But, since getting the kids in school, I really want them to eat a hot breakfast. That has amounted to breakfast corn dogs and sausage biscuits. But, Boo has started asking for scrambled eggs.
Do any of your kids want to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast? But you don’t have time to stand over the stove to make them, right? Yeah, been there, done that. I have to get ready to walk out the door too. I think I made him eggs on his first day of school.
Then I thought surely there is a way to make them in the microwave. And there is!
I bring you the 1 minute scrambled egg.
Start by spraying a coffee mug with cooking spray. You want a fairly large coffee mug. The crack two eggs into the mug.
Add your seasonings of choice. I put some Lawry’s seasoning on the eggs and scramble.
I have added a splash of water, but it isn’t necessary. Then pop the cup in the microwave for 30 seconds.
When you pull the cup back out, the top will be cooked, but don’t be fooled.
Give the eggs a quick stir with a fork.
Pop it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. This time when you pull the cup out, the eggs will be almost completely cooked.
Give it a another quick stir and add cheese if you so desire.
I then give it another 10 seconds to melt the cheese and make the eggs a bit more solid. And then VIOLA!
What morning tricks do you have to get the kids fed and out of the house?

I'm a big fan of cooking in huge batches and freezing. So, I have a freezer full of muffins, pancakes, french toast and cooked eggs (I like to add a morningstar farm sausage patty and a toasted english muffin to my eggs for a faux egg mcmuffin)
Hmmm…. this is interesting… I need to try this. Now I've seen how to make an omlet in a ziplock baggie in the microwave… but this I gotta try
One of my favorite time saving tips! Done it many times!
This is awesome. I am the same way about wanting J to have a good breakfast before school. Lately that has resulted in high fiber waffles via Eggo. This makes for a fast low fuss alternative. Thanks!
Brilliant! A grand way to get a healthy and quick br'fast ready. So glad I saw this…on Friday Finds at Grandma Loy's Kitchen. Your photos are terrific too!
That's a great idea. I haven't thought of doing that. You really did a good job on that.
