Scrambled Eggs
for 1 or 2 kids


A recipe for scrambled eggs you can make at home with an adult.

Just about everybody likes scrambled eggs. Some kids like them plain or with shredded cheese sprinkled on top. Other kids like to eat them with a little catsup or salsa. You can eat them with anything you like as long as your parents say it's okay. If you don't want to use a plate, spoon the cooked eggs into a pita bread pocket or onto a tortilla and roll it up. Scrambled eggs puff up and get spongy in a microwave.

Scrambled Eggs


Food you need:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon butter or cooking oil OR cooking spray
Kitchen items you need:
  • Small bowl
  • Fork
  • 7- to 8-inch omelet pan OR skillet
  • Pancake turner
  • Plate
1. Break the eggs into the bowl. Add the milk. Beat with the fork until the eggs and milk are blended and you can't see any streaks of egg white any more.

2. Put the butter or oil in the pan. OR coat the pan evenly with the spray. Put the pan on a burner. Turn the heat to medium. Let the butter melt and cook a little bit. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. The pan is hot enough when the water sizzles and dances in the pan.

3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. The eggs will start to set. Turn the pancake turner upside down and gently pull it across the bottom and sides of the pan. Keep pulling the pancake turner through the eggs until they're thick and you can't see any more liquid in the pan. Don't stir all the time or the eggs will break into tiny pieces.

4. Lift the eggs out of the pan onto the plate with the pancake turner when they're done.

Microwave Scrambled Eggs
(for 1 or 2 kids)

Food you need:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon butter, if you want it
Kitchen items you need:
  • 10-ounce custard cup OR small bowl
  • Fork
  • 2 forks
  • Plastic wrap
1. Break the eggs into the cup. Add the milk. Beat with one of the forks until the eggs and milk are blended and you can't see any streaks of egg white any more. Add the butter, if you want it.

2. Put the cup in the microwave oven. Close the oven door. Set the microwave to cook on full power for 1 minute. Open the oven door when the microwave timer says 30 seconds are left. Stir the eggs with the second fork. Close the oven door and start the oven again. Open the oven door and stir again when the 30 seconds are over.

3. If the eggs are thick and you can't see any more liquid in the cup, take the cup out of the oven. If the eggs are runny, close the oven door. Set the microwave to cook on full power for 30 seconds. Open the door when the 30 seconds are over. If the eggs are still runny, cover the cup with plastic wrap. Let the eggs sit in the covered cup for about 1 minute until they're done.

4. Set the oven timer for 2 minutes to let the cup cool a little. You can peel off the plastic wrap and eat the eggs right out of the cup when the cup is cool enough to touch
