When you are a busy mother of two young kids, getting out the door in the morning with a good nutritious breakfast in your belly can be tough. I was ecstatic about this easy and delicious 2 Minute Microwave Mug Omelet. No frying pan necessary. I saw this idea in a magazine advertising eggs and the concept was so intriguing. I knew I had to give it a try with my own recipe. When I pulled the mug out of the microwave I seriously did a happy dance. This omelet was light, fluffy and so very easy. I only had one small bowl and my coffee mug to wash after it was done so that was good too. You can customize this omelet with any add-ins. I suggest if you want to do this for several days in a row, have all your add-in ingredients prepped and ready to go in a partitioned Tupperware or Ziploc bags and just toss into the omelet as you wish. Everyone has two minutes to spare for a healthy breakfast and this one is perfect.
Ingredients for One Mug Omelet:
1 large egg
2 Tbs milk
salt and black pepper to taste
cooking spray
Add-ins:
raw onions diced
green peppers ( I used defrosted frozen diced green bell peppers)
finely diced jalapeno
shredded cheese (cheddar, etc..)
crumbled cooked sausage
diced cooked ham
cooked crumbled bacon
Directions:
In a bowl beat one egg, a splash of milk, salt and pepper well. Then add the add-ins of your choice and mix well. Spray a
microwave safe mug with cooking spray then pour in the omelet mixture. Top with some extra shredded cheese and put in the microwave for 2-3 minutes (depending on your microwave wattage). I put it in for 21/2 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteMy mother in law was telling me about making eggs in the microwave when they were on vacation in a hotel room. Hers didn't sound too good but your photo looks pretty delicious. I will have to check this out. During the week eggs are too much of an effort most days.
