🍓 Ingredients

You can always enjoy a hot and easy breakfast once you learn how to make these scrambled eggs. They are ideal for those rough mornings when you have no time to cook. Here are the top ingredients:

Eggs: Of course, eggs are vital in this recipe. They are the star of the show and are a protein-packed breakfast ingredient you can’t go without. Plus, they will keep you satisfied!

Turkey Sausage: You’ll need to pre-cook the sausage before you begin, but they are excellent with the other ingredients. They will keep you full and also enhance the way it tastes too.

Seasonings: You just need a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to up the flavor! You can always add a little more or less, depending on your preference.

🥚 Instructions

Microwave eggs are so easy that you may not make them on the stove again! We have included several extra photos this time because we really want you to see the fluffiness of the eggs! I wish we would have used this technique when making the Breakfast Burritos. It would have been faster and easier. As an added benefit, you won’t have any browning of the eggs that you sometimes get by doing it on a stove.

Gather the ingredients in a bowl and whisk it well. Don’t skip the onion powder! You will be surprised how much flavor is added.

Pour the mixture into mason jars and place in the refrigerator. When you are ready to cook, take out the jars, remove the lid and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then decrease the time increments to 15 seconds.

They cook up fast and can quickly expand, leaving a mess in the microwave. We provided a photo to show you to NOT walk away from them!

🧅 What Kind of Add-ins Should I Use?

Like I mentioned above, don’t be afraid to use other ingredients! We tried them with just ham and cheese as well as a veggie-packed version! Both turned out great and added a lot of flavor! If you are going to use meat, I suggest using only fully cooked meat.  If needed, spend a few minutes to make sure it is cooked before adding it to the egg mixture. In this recipe, I used fully cooked chicken sausage.

🍲 Are Microwave Eggs Safe to Eat?

Absolutely! It is just like anything else that you choose to microwave. Be careful when grabbing the jar, though. It can get very hot!

⏲️ How Long do These Last in the Refrigerator?

Only keep them for a maximum of four days. The eggs have been exposed and to maintain freshness, it is best to stay at four days and under.

📌 Tips

• Prevent overcooking the eggs. The jar is going to remain hot when you cook them and once you stir them up they finish cooking nicely. Eat them right out of the jar (we did and loved it!) or serve it on a plate with fresh fruit.
• Use a coffee mug if you don’t have a mason jar. They just won’t be as portable or as easy to prep unless you pre-portion them out in little containers in the refrigerator and then pour into a mug to microwave! This would work great if you wanted to eat this once you arrived at work.
