Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite variety)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cooked vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers, tomatoes)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of a microwave-safe coffee cup with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Crack the eggs into the coffee cup and add the milk.
Whisk the eggs and milk together with a fork until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked vegetables, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the coffee cup in the microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds.
Remove the cup from the microwave, stir the egg mixture to ensure even cooking, and return it to the microwave.
Cook for another 30 seconds, stir again, and repeat in 15-second intervals until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy. (Total cooking time is typically 1.5–2 minutes depending on your microwave's power.)
Let the Coffee Cup Scramble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it straight from the mug or transfer it to a plate!
