Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons diced bell pepper (any color)
- 2 tablespoons chopped spinach
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of a large, microwave-safe mug with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In the mug, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk with a fork until fully combined.
Stir in the diced bell pepper, chopped spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture gently to ensure even cooking.
Return the mug to the microwave and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds, or until the eggs are set and cooked through (cooking times may vary depending on your microwave).
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let it sit for 1 minute to cool slightly.
Enjoy your delicious, cheesy egg and veggie meal straight from the mug!
