Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 ounce Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green chilies (diced, canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Cooked bacon or ham (optional, diced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Butter or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Crack the eggs into the mug and whisk them thoroughly with a fork until well beaten.
Add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, and cooked bacon or ham (if using). Stir until well combined.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of ground cumin, if desired. Stir again to evenly distribute the spices.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute.
Remove the mug, stir the mixture gently, and then microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes in 30-second intervals. Stop once the eggs are fully set and the quiche has puffed up slightly.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!), and let the quiche cool for 1-2 minutes.
Enjoy your green chili quiche directly from the mug or invert it onto a plate for serving.
