how to make an omelet in a mug

Omelet in a Mug

A quick and easy hot breakfast made in a mug
Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
cool down 2 minutes
Total Time 6 minutes
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs or egg whites
  • 1 tbsp milk or cream
  • 2 tbsp cheese- shredded cut, or cubed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup preferred mix-ins- such as breakfast type meat veggies, pesto, etc. Anything in your fridge!
  • non-stick spray

Method
 

  1. Spray the inside of a mug with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add 2 eggs (or egg whites) and a splash of milk or cream (about 1 tablespoon) and whisk them together.
  3. Add in your cheese of choice; it can be shredded, cubed, or torn from a slice of cheese. Add about 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  4. Add in your seasonings. I usually do salt and pepper, but add whatever you like!
  5. Add in about 1/4 cup of your desired mix ins. This could be anything, leftover bits of things are great to add in. I've used bacon, ham, leftover steak or hamburger, any veggies like spinach, sauteed onions or peppers, a spoonful of pesto or chimichurri, ricotta cheese; seriously anything goes!
  6. Give everything a good mix. Microwave 1 minute, mix again, microwave 1 more minute.
  7. Let stand 2 minutes until cooled (will be hot!)

Notes

If using veggies like mushrooms, onions, peppers, broccoli, or other hard vegetables it's best that they are cooked first. Leftover sauteed or cooked veggies are perfect right from the refrigerator!
