Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Fillings

  • Green pepper, finely diced
  • Yellow onion, finely diced
  • Ham, finely diced
  • Cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mug: Spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Add eggs and water: Crack 2 large eggs into the mug, then add 1 tablespoon of water. Stir thoroughly with a fork to combine and incorporate some air for fluffier eggs.
  3. Season the eggs: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to distribute seasoning evenly.
  4. Add fillings: Incorporate your choice of finely diced green pepper, finely diced yellow onion, diced ham, crumbled cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients uniformly.
  5. Cook in microwave: Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping and checking at 1 minute. The eggs should be fully cooked and fluffy; cooking times may vary based on your microwave wattage.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave—hot!—and enjoy your quick and delicious omelet directly from the mug or plated.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overcooking or undercooking the eggs.
  • Use fresh vegetables and meats for best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to customize the fillings to your taste preferences, including adding herbs or other cheeses.
  • Microwave microwaves vary, so watch the omelet closely the first time you try this recipe.
  • For a fluffier texture, you can whisk the eggs and water vigorously before adding fillings.
