Ingredients
Basic Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins
- Cheese (shredded, about 1-2 tablespoons)
- Spinach (a small handful, chopped)
- Diced vegetables (such as bell pepper, onion, or tomato, about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Use a microwave-safe mug to ensure safe cooking. Crack the 2 eggs directly into the mug.
- Add Milk and Seasoning: Pour in 2 tablespoons of milk, then add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture well with a fork or small whisk until fully blended.
- Incorporate Optional Ingredients: Stir in any optional add-ins like cheese, chopped spinach, or diced vegetables evenly into the egg mixture to enhance flavor and texture.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir gently to mix partially cooked eggs, then microwave again for an additional 30 to 60 seconds or until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it may be hot) and enjoy your quick, fluffy eggs right from the mug while warm.
Notes
- Cooking time varies depending on the wattage and power of your microwave.
- To achieve soft, fluffy eggs, avoid overcooking which can make them rubbery.
- Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite vegetables or cheese.
- Use a fork to whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure even cooking.
- Let the eggs sit for 30 seconds after microwaving for residual heat to finish cooking.
