Scale
Omelette Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon chopped spinach
- 1 tablespoon diced cooked ham or cooked bacon crumbles (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sliced green onions
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Lightly coat a large microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the mug, add the milk, and whisk with a fork until fully combined. Stir in the shredded cheese, bell peppers, spinach, ham or bacon if using, green onions, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
- Microwave First Cycle: Microwave on high for 45 seconds to start the cooking process.
- Stir Omelette: Gently stir the mixture to redistribute the ingredients and ensure even cooking.
- Microwave Second Cycle: Continue microwaving for an additional 45 to 60 seconds, or until the eggs are set and cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Let the omelette rest for 1 minute as it will continue cooking from residual heat. Serve warm directly from the mug.
Notes
- Use a mug that holds at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Microwave power varies, so adjust cooking times in 15-second intervals as needed to avoid overcooking.
- Customize your omelette by adding ingredients like mushrooms, tomatoes, or different cheeses.
- For a dairy-free version, omit milk and cheese or substitute with dairy-free alternatives.
