Making quick, nutritious meals for our kids can often feel like the holy grail of cooking\u2014in that it\u2019s really hard and mostly seems impossible! But these methods for making eggs in the microwave is one of those genius mom hacks that comes in so handy when we\u2019re short on time. <\/p>\n

Or when we just don\u2019t want to spend the whole day washing dishes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be sharing super easy methods so you can learn how to make Microwaved Scrambled Eggs and Microwaved Soft-Boiled Eggs to provide delicious and affordable protein in less than a minute.<\/p>\n

This works with one egg at a time, which is a great thing when we are using them sparely or when prices have increased.<\/p>\n

Eggs are a great early finger food for baby<\/a>, they\u2019re an easy toddler breakfast<\/a> (or shortcut meal<\/a>) for any time of the day, and are great for adults, too.<\/p>\n

Ingredients You Need<\/h2>\n

All you\u2019ll need to make these eggs, with either method, is the egg. You don\u2019t need butter or any other ingredients to get started. And in terms of tools, you just need a heat-safe bowl, such as glass or ceramic, and a fork.<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> Use a bowl that\u2019s at least twice as big as the egg so it has room to expand as it cooks.<\/p>\n

Microwaved Scrambled Eggs, Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the super simple process of making scrambled eggs in the microwave. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Crack an egg into a heat-safe bowl. (I use large eggs.)<\/li>\n
  2. Beat with a fork.<\/li>\n
  3. Cook!<\/li>\n
  4. Break up and fluff or whisk gently with a fork.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    TIP:<\/strong> You can stir in shredded cheese and\/or a little bit of finely chopped spinach or cooked crumbled bacon in Step 4 to make it into a more complex scramble with a bit more flavor.<\/p>\n

    Soft-Boiled Eggs in the Microwave<\/h2>\n

    While I love scrambled eggs for babies as an early finger food, soft-boiled eggs are also a great way to serve up eggs to kids. And this method is super easy and straightforward and is so fast. I love making myself eggs for lunch this way! With this method, you again just need an egg and a heat-safe bowl or measuring cup.<\/p>\n

    TIP:<\/strong> I like to make my microwaved soft-boiled eggs in a 2-cup glass measuring cup.<\/p>\n

    Microwave Soft-Boiled Eggs, Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n

    Here\u2019s a look at the simple process involved in making this breakfast recipe for kids. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full information.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Place the egg into a heat-safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Cover with boiling water. Cook.<\/li>\n
    2. Remove egg to a bowl or towel. Let cool down until you can handle it.<\/li>\n
    3. Peel.<\/li>\n
    4. Slice or dice and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      TIP:<\/strong> The yolk will be somewhat firm, but still a little runny if you peel this very soon after cooking. If you prefer your yolks to be firmer, let sit for at least 5 minutes before peeling and serving and it will continue to cook.<\/p>\n

      A Note About Microwave Safety<\/h2>\n

      There is no evidence<\/a> that exposure to microwaves will damage our bodies, even though that is a widespread myth. And this quick method of cooking can actually help keep nutrients in the food, rather than destroying them. Scientists and doctors (like those at Harvard) say that microwaves are a convenient and safe way to cook food. (If you have lingering concerns, you can of course simply scramble your eggs<\/a> the normal way!)<\/p>\n

      TIP:<\/strong> I prefer to use glass, ceramic, or silicone in the microwave, rather than plastic, as those are more heat-stable.<\/p>\n

      How to Store Leftover Eggs<\/h2>\n

      The beauty of these recipes is that you can serve them quickly right in the moment, and you can also save them to serve later. I use this method to cook eggs to send to daycare for lunch and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days in a small airtight container<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n

      To make these eggs into a meal, serve with some fruit or a veggie, and a complex carbohydrate such as whole grain toast or dry cereal for kids<\/a>. To serve as a snack, simply pair with one other food group such as produce (so maybe some berries or clementine) or dairy (some shredded cheese).<\/p>\n
