Whip up a quick, satisfying breakfast with this Microwave Mug Omelet. It's perfect for busy mornings when you crave something hearty without the hassle of a full kitchen cleanup. Just a few minutes and you're ready to savor this protein-packed delight!
Eggs are the star, providing protein and a fluffy texture when cooked. The diced bell peppers add a sweet crunch and a pop of color, while the chopped spinach sneaks in some greens for added nutrition. A touch of shredded cheddar cheese melts beautifully, offering a savory richness. A splash of milk helps keep the omelet tender, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper enhances the flavors.
This mug omelet pairs beautifully with a slice of whole-grain toast or an English muffin. Add a side of fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast. If you’re feeling indulgent, top the omelet with a spoonful of salsa or a dollop of sour cream.
Start by cracking two large eggs into a microwave-safe mug. Using a fork, whisk them thoroughly until they're well combined and slightly frothy. This helps ensure even cooking and a fluffy texture.
Toss in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese. Pour in the milk, then add the salt and black pepper. Stir everything together in the mug until the ingredients are evenly mixed. Make sure the veggies and cheese are distributed throughout the eggs for consistent flavor in every bite.
Place your mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Keep an eye on it — microwave settings vary, and you'll want to stop cooking as soon as the eggs are set and cooked through. The top may look slightly wet, but it will continue to cook as it sits.
Once done, let the omelet cool for a minute before digging in. This also allows the flavors to meld together nicely.
