FAQs
Can I use different types of milk?
Yes, you can substitute whole milk with skim, almond, soy, or oat milk depending on your preference and dietary needs. This may slightly affect the creaminess and texture.
How do I know when the eggs are fully cooked in the microwave?
The eggs should be mostly set but still a bit soft when you finish microwaving. They will continue to cook slightly from residual heat, so avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
