Can you cook eggs in the microwave?

Yes, you can cook eggs in the microwave. Follow this recipe to learn how.

Can I double the recipe?

If you want to make twice as much it is better to prepare the omelette twice. Twice the amount of ingredients in the mug may inhibit the eggs from cooking properly.

How do I know my eggs are cooked thoroughly?

You can test the eggs with a knife or fork to see if they are very wet inside. If they are, cook for a few more seconds until the eggs are firm.

Can this be made ahead and frozen?

Definitely! Eggs freeze well. Just wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container. Then, microwave them for about a minute to reheat.
