Microwave Scrambled Eggs Flavor Variations and Mix-ins

• For a bit of extra flavor, go simple with black pepper before cooking or finish with hot sauce.
• Add a spoonful of grated cheddar cheese while scrambling! Top with crumbled, cooked bacon.
• I love substituting creme fraiche (French cream) for the liquid! Creme fraiche is thick, creamy, and has just the slightest tang. Add a spoonful in place of the milk. 
• Add a tablespoon of chopped ham or turkey while scrambling the eggs. Even cooked breakfast sausage would be fabulous! 
• Leftover cooked vegetables from the night before or fresh herbs would be an awesome mix-in for a one-mug omelet vibe. Just chop them up into smaller bite sized pieces.
