Description
A quick and fluffy microwave egg recipe made right in a mug. Perfect for busy mornings when you need a fast and healthy breakfast with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped spinach or bell peppers (optional)
- Cooking spray or a little butter (for greasing the mug)
Instructions
- Prepare the mug: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray or butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Combine eggs and milk: Crack the eggs into the mug, then add milk along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Whisk mixture: Use a fork to whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Add optional ingredients: Stir in shredded cheese and chopped spinach or bell peppers, if using, to add flavor and nutrition.
- Cook first half: Microwave the mug on high for 30 seconds to start cooking the eggs gently.
- Stir and continue cooking: Stir the eggs to ensure even cooking, then microwave for an additional 30 to 60 seconds until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
- Cool and serve: Let the eggs cool slightly before enjoying directly from the mug for a quick and convenient breakfast.
Notes
- Microwave cooking times can vary depending on your appliance’s power, so adjust as necessary.
- Avoid overcooking the eggs to prevent them from turning rubbery and dry.
- For extra protein and flavor, try adding cooked bacon or ham pieces before microwaving.
- You can customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables or herbs.
