Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, cooked bacon or ham
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray or a little butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Whisk Eggs and Milk: Crack the eggs into the mug, add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to whisk the mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Stir in any optional ingredients like cheese, chopped vegetables, or cooked meats if desired, mixing well to incorporate.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir the eggs to ensure even cooking. Continue microwaving in additional 15-30 second increments, stirring after each, until the eggs are set but still moist, usually totaling around 1 to 1.5 minutes depending on your microwave.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the eggs cool for a minute, then enjoy your quick, protein-rich breakfast straight from the mug.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary based on the wattage of your microwave.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs to avoid dryness.
- Customize with your favorite mix-ins like spinach, tomatoes, or herbs for added flavor and nutrition.
