Ingredients:
- 16 large eggs
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cups milk
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mixture: Begin by cracking all 16 eggs into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the cream cheese, Tabasco sauce, salt, Accent seasoning (if using), fresh ground black pepper, and milk. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. This will ensure that every bite of your scrambled eggs is creamy and well-seasoned.
-
Initial Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. After this initial cooking time, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Stir the mixture well to ensure that the eggs cook evenly and the cream cheese is well incorporated.
-
Continue Cooking: Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Stir again to distribute the heat. This process of microwaving and stirring will continue until the eggs are just set but still moist. Typically, this step will take about 8 minutes in total, though the exact time may vary based on your microwave’s wattage.
-
Final Stir and Serve: Once the eggs have reached the desired consistency, with a soft and creamy texture, remove the bowl from the microwave one last time. Give the eggs a final stir to fluff them up and ensure they are evenly cooked. Serve hot directly from the bowl to keep cleanup to a minimum.
Serving Suggestion: These creamy scrambled eggs are perfect as a standalone breakfast or can be paired with toast, bacon, or fresh fruit for a complete meal. Enjoy the ease and deliciousness of this microwave recipe at your next brunch or family gathering!
