Main Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 1/4 carrot
- 1/4 onion
- 1 small head of broccoli
- 1 slice of cheese
- 1 pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a microwave-safe bowl of a suitable size. Crack 3 eggs into the bowl. Whisk them well to combine the yolks and whites for a smoother texture.
Step 2
Add 3 tablespoons of milk to the eggs in the bowl. Milk helps to reduce any eggy smell and makes the steamed egg much more moist and tender.
Step 3
Finely mince 1/4 of a carrot. Mincing the carrot finely will allow it to be nicely dispersed throughout the steamed egg, adding pretty color and texture. The subtle sweetness of the carrot also complements the egg well.
Step 4
Next, finely mince 1/4 of an onion. Minced onion, when cooked, enhances the sweetness and flavor, making the steamed egg even richer. Using sweet, new onions is recommended.
Step 5
Finely chop 1 small head of broccoli. Broccoli is not only nutrient-rich but also adds an interesting texture when finely chopped, making it enjoyable even for children. Feel free to chop the stems finely as well.
Step 6
Add all the finely minced vegetables (carrot, onion, and broccoli) to the bowl containing the eggs and milk. The colorful vegetables will make the steamed egg look even more appetizing.
Step 7
Now, use a spoon or fork to gently stir everything together until well combined. It’s important to ensure the eggs are not lumpy and that the vegetables and milk are evenly distributed. Add a pinch of salt to lightly season.
Step 8
Finally, place 1 slice of cheese on top of the egg mixture for a rich, savory flavor. As the cheese melts, it will meld with the steamed egg, creating an even creamier and more delicious taste.
Step 9
Place the prepared steamed egg in the microwave and cook for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s power. Ensure the egg is fully cooked before serving. Enjoy your warm and tasty steamed egg!
