Description

A fast, protein-packed breakfast made right in a mug. Fluffy microwave eggs ready in minutes—perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick, nutritious start to your day.


Ingredients

Basic Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped veggies or ham


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mug: Spray the inside of a microwave-safe mug lightly with oil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the mug and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Microwave First Interval: Microwave the mixture on high for 45 seconds. This initial cooking starts setting the eggs.
  4. Stir Eggs: Carefully remove the mug and stir the eggs to ensure even cooking and to prevent the texture from becoming rubbery.
  5. Microwave Final Interval: Microwave for an additional 30 to 45 seconds or until the eggs are fully set and fluffy.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Sprinkle shredded cheese or your choice of chopped veggies or ham on top, and enjoy your quick, warm breakfast right from the mug.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so adjust accordingly to avoid overcooking.
  • Stirring halfway through cooking is important to create a fluffy texture and prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
  • Feel free to customize your eggs by adding herbs, spices, or your favorite breakfast meats or vegetables.
