Welcome to the world of quick, delicious, and oh-so-easy breakfast ideas! This Mug Quiche Lorraine is the perfect solution for those mornings when you crave something savory and satisfying but are short on time. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a warm, comforting quiche ready in minutes, right in your favorite mug.
Eggs: The base of our quiche, providing richness and protein. Make sure they're fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Heavy cream: Adds a creamy consistency and richness that takes this dish from ordinary to indulgent.
Bacon: Provides a savory, smoky flavor that makes this quiche so irresistible. Pre-cooked bacon strips work great here.
Gruyère cheese: Known for its nutty and slightly sweet flavor, Gruyère melts beautifully and gives the quiche its classic taste.
Salt and black pepper: Essential seasonings to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients. Adjust to your liking.
Chives (optional): These add a subtle onion flavor and a pop of color. They’re great if you have them on hand, but not essential.
Pair your Mug Quiche Lorraine with a light salad or some fresh fruit to complement the rich flavors. For a more substantial meal, a slice of crusty bread or a warm croissant on the side would make it even more satisfying. If you’re in the mood for something different, try topping your quiche with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs after cooking.
Start by cracking two large eggs into a microwave-safe mug. Whisk them well with a fork or small whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This step is crucial for a smooth texture.
Next, add in the 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. This enriches the eggs and gives the quiche a creamy texture. Toss in the crumbled bacon and the grated Gruyère cheese. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Season your mixture with a pinch of salt and black pepper. If you’re using chives, now’s the time to add them. Stir once more to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
Pop your mug into the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. After the minute is up, give it a quick stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the eggs are set. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes in total, but microwaves can vary, so keep an eye on it.
Once done, let your quiche cool slightly for a minute or two—this also helps it finish setting. Then, dig in and enjoy!
