Then add the beaten eggs and mix well.

 

Pour the mixture into a medium sized microwave-suitable bowl which has been lined with cling film that goes well over the side but do not cover the mixture with cling film.

 

Cook in the microwave at 1000W for six minutes (10 minutes in a 650W microwave).
