Notes

For perfectly fluffy results, vigorous whisking between each microwave interval is crucial; it incorporates air and ensures even cooking, preventing rubbery eggs. Pay close attention to your microwave's power; adjust cook times if needed, as microwaves vary. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a dash of hot sauce after cooking. A touch of butter or a sprinkle of shredded cheese can be stirred in during the last 30-second interval for added richness. Serve immediately for the best texture.
