How to cook an omelet in the microwave quickly and tasty
I suggest starting with the simplest way to prepare a fluffy and delicious omelette. A serving consists of 2 eggs and is designed for one person. If you want to cook more eggs, it is better to do it in several batches, a couple of eggs at a time. So that it doesn’t turn out that everything is liquid and raw on the inside, and dry and burnt on the outside.

For preparation you will need:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 100 ml milk
- 20 g butter
Preparation:
1. Mixing the ingredients does not present any difficulties and boils down to beating eggs and milk in one bowl with the addition of soda.
Mix the ingredients in a special microwave-safe bowl.
2. Add thinly sliced pieces of butter to the resulting mixture. The thinner they are, the better - they will melt faster. There is no need to dissolve them by whisking, it takes too long.
3. Set the microwave power to 600 watts and the time to 2 minutes.
4. After 2 minutes, the omelette will be cooked from the edges of the plate, but will still be raw in the middle. Therefore, open the door and use a fork to push the baked edges towards the center. Close the door and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. And you're done. All that remains is to turn the finished omelette over onto a regular plate.
Bon appetit!

Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. sour cream
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp butter
- Pepper - to taste
- A couple of thin slices of ham and optional herbs
Preparation:
1. In a deep plate or mug (but not the one in which we will cook), beat the eggs with a fork with sour cream, a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, add chopped herbs and small pieces of ham or sausage.
The result is a fairly thick mixture, similar to pancake batter.
2. Place the butter in the mug in which further cooking will take place, and put it in the microwave for a minute so that the butter melts. Next, using a napkin, spread this oil over the walls of the mug.
This is a very important step that will prevent the omelet from sticking to the walls and should not be skipped.
3. Pour the prepared mixture into a greased mug and place in the microwave for 3 minutes at a power of 600-700 watts.
Ready. Bon appetit!

Omelet recipes
You can prepare many dishes from eggs, but not all of them are suitable for children. Scrambled eggs are immediately excluded if they are made over an open fire, fried in oil. An omelet with the addition of milk has a more delicate consistency and is better accepted by the child’s stomach.
Baby should not fry food in a frying pan. To avoid carcinogens entering the children's body, they are cooked by steaming or in the oven, slow cooker, or microwave oven.
In the microwave
There will be no difficulties in preparing the dish. To make an omelette in the microwave for a child fluffy, it is enough to maintain the proportions - take 0.5 cups of milk for 2 eggs. The cooking process itself looks like this:
- eggs are broken into a deep plate;
- lightly add salt and beat with a whisk;
- pour in the milk and mix thoroughly again;
- the mass is poured into a container intended for the microwave;
- turn on the desired mode for 5-6 minutes at a power of 800 W.
Important! If the dish is being prepared for a baby up to one year old, then in the given recipe for an omelette in the microwave for a child, instead of a whole egg, you need to take only the yolk.
For a couple
This recipe is suitable for those who have a double boiler. The ingredients used are standard, but it is recommended to replace half of the milk with water. A steamed omelette for a child is prepared according to this principle:
- grease the mold with butter;
- fill the container to no more than ½ volume (the omelette will rise);
- Cover with a lid and cook the dish for 20 minutes.
Steamed omelette
For those who do not have a special device, another option is offered on how to prepare a steam omelette for a child. Taking an ordinary saucepan, proceed to the following steps:
- pour water into it and place it on the stove;
- Fill the muffin tin halfway with the egg-milk mixture;
- when the water in the pan boils, place the mold in it, trying to submerge it to 1/3 of the height;
- Having reduced the heat, cover the pan with a lid and soak the omelet in the bathhouse for 2-3 minutes.
After turning off the stove, remove the mold and carefully place it on a plate. All that remains is to decorate the dish appetizingly and serve it to the baby.
In a slow cooker
For variety, it is suggested to add semolina to the main products. This will make a steamed omelet for a child in a slow cooker more satisfying. To do this, follow this algorithm:
- eggs (3 pcs.) mixed with milk (75 ml), salted to taste;
- add semolina (2 tbsp) to the whipped mass;
- stir gently and leave for 20 minutes;
- pour water into the multicooker bowl;
- place a container with an omelette on top;
- cover with a lid and turn on the timer for 20 minutes.
Omelet for a child with steamed milk
When it comes to children's diets, most often they try to make it as dietary as possible. Naturally, nothing fried. Only boiled, or even better, steamed. And if earlier this required a double boiler or a multicooker, now you can get by with a regular microwave.
You just need to purchase an inexpensive plastic product called a “Microwave Steamer.”
This is a deep plastic container with a lid, with a plastic grill installed in the middle.
According to the instructions, 250 ml of water is poured into the bottom of the container, then a wire rack is placed on which the products are laid out. The whole thing is closed with a lid and put into the microwave for 6-7 minutes at a power of 700 W.
If we are talking about an omelet, then it is more convenient to prepare it in silicone molds, pouring into them the egg mixture from any recipe presented above. The molds are filled halfway, leaving room for lifting.
An omelette prepared in this way turns out fluffy and elastic.
The kids really like it.
