The Small Dish
This dish’s superpower is evenly heating leftovers and cooking small portions.
The Anyhand Mitts
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sour cream or mayo
- Salt, to taste
Preparation
- Melt butter in the Anyday dish. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Cook uncovered in the microwave in 30-second intervals for 1 minute and 15 seconds, whisking (not stirring!) each time to achieve the classic scrambled egg curds.
- Continue cooking for 20 seconds. On the last whisk, some egg might still be liquid, but as you whisk it will all finish cooking.
- Enjoy as-is or over toast.
Serving suggestions & tips
- You can swap the mayonnaise with melted butter for a delicious result.
- Add some chopped herbs for a fresh flavor.
- Add cheese and ham or cooked sausage for a more robust scramble.
- Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy touch.
Recipe notes
- You can also use an Anyday Deep Dish to cook scrambled eggs, but you might need to add a bit more cooking time since the layer of eggs will be thicker. Add time in 15-30 second intervals.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
