Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (any type)
- 2 tablespoons diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons cooked meat (ham, bacon, sausage, etc.), optional
- 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly grease a microwave-safe bowl or mug with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Crack the eggs into the bowl or mug and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly with a fork until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked meat if using.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Pause and stir the omelet to ensure even cooking.
Return the bowl or mug to the microwave and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the eggs are fully set and no longer runny.
Carefully remove the bowl or mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for a minute before serving.
Enjoy your microwave omelet on its own or with a side of toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
