Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spinach
  • 1 tablespoon diced cooked sausage or bacon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes or bell peppers

Other

  • Non-stick cooking spray or a few drops of oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mug: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray or a few drops of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix eggs and milk: Crack 2 large eggs into the mug and add 2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Add fillings and season: Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped spinach, 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon diced cooked sausage or bacon if using, and 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes or bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Microwave first interval: Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. This initial cooking sets the base of the omelet.
  5. Stir gently: Carefully remove the mug and stir the omelet mixture gently to evenly distribute the fillings and ensure even cooking.
  6. Microwave final interval: Microwave again on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the eggs are fully set, cooked through, and fluffy.
  7. Rest and garnish: Let the omelet sit for 1 minute to finish setting. Optionally, garnish with extra cheese or fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage; adjust accordingly.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with your favorite vegetables, cheeses, or meats.
  • Use dairy-free milk alternatives to make this recipe lactose-free.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage or bacon.
  • Be careful not to overcook to avoid rubbery eggs.
