1. Prepare Bowl: Choose a microwave-safe bowl or mug (about 1.5 to 2-cup capacity). Lightly grease the inside of the bowl with cooking spray or a tiny bit of butter to prevent sticking.

2. Whisk Eggs: Crack the 2 large eggs into the prepared bowl. Add the milk or water (if using), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy. Whisking well incorporates air, which helps make the eggs fluffy.

3. Add Optional Ingredients: If using, stir in any shredded cheese or pre-cooked chopped meats/vegetables into the egg mixture.

4. Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave. Cook on high power for 45 seconds to 1 minute. The edges should start to set, but the center will still be liquid.

5. Stir and Continue Cooking: Remove the bowl from the microwave. Stir the partially cooked egg mixture with a fork to break up any large curds and redistribute the uncooked egg. Return to the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the eggs are mostly set but still look moist. The total cooking time will typically be between 1 minute 15 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage and your desired doneness.

6. Serve: Carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave. Give the eggs one final gentle stir. Serve immediately on their own, on toast, or in a breakfast sandwich. Enjoy your quick and easy microwave scrambled eggs!
