Instructions
- Grease a large cup or mug with butter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into the cup or mug (a maximum of two-thirds full, as the eggs, will gain volume while cooking).
- Microwave at maximum power for about 1 minute. Remove and stir, turning over the scrambled egg. Microwave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until firm, yet moist. Set aside. Note: the eggs will keep cooking when removed from heat, so try not to overcook.
- Add the remaining butter to the eggs, stir, and let cool for a minute.
- Serve the scrambled eggs with tuna, bell pepper, and chives.

I agree!! Sometimes I will melt a little cheese on top too.
We have not tested this recipe in the stove. If you don't have a microwave oven, you may be better off with a traditional stove top scrambled eggs recipe.
