Easy Mug Omelet in the Microwave
If you need to make a delicious omelet for one, this mug omelet recipe is a quick and easy way to do it! You can try other veggies you have on hand in this omelet, just be sure to cut them real small (I threw in some bell peppers, baby spinach leaves, and parsley).
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 eggs
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste (add other seasonings of your choice, I added a pinch of Aleppo pepper)
- 1 tbsp chopped bell peppers
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- baby spinach, a couple leaves
- feta cheese, a sprinkle, optional
Instructions
- Prepare a large microwave safe mug or bowl and brush it generously with olive oil (or oil of your choice). (It's okay if there is a little olive oil in the bottom of the mug, it will make the eggs more moist and delicious)
- Crack the eggs and add them to the mug. Season with kosher salt, black pepper and Aleppo or other seasonings if using. Beat the eggs with a fork or small whisk.
- Add the bell peppers, parsley, spinach, and feta. Mix again with your fork to make sure everything is well combined.
- Microwave on high for up to 1 minutes and 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. It's a good idea to check on your eggs every few seconds (I cooked mine for 20 to 30 seconds at a time, it took about 1 minute and 20 seconds in total). Let stand in the closed microwave briefly before you serve.
Notes
- This recipe makes one individual mug omelet with 2 eggs. If you use only one egg or egg whites only, you may have to adjust cooking time. Begin with 30 seconds at a time and stir, then add more time as needed.
- Variations: use other veggies you may have on hand--zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots-- as long as you chop them very small, they should be fine. You can also throw in some chopped up ham or other already-cooked meat. Cooking time will vary depending on how much you add to your omelet.
- Microwaves do vary, adjust cooking time as needed. You may like to partially cover the mug, but be sure to allow a little opening for the eggs to vent.
- Follow your microwave's safety precautions. Allow the cooked eggs to sit in the closed microwave briefly before you reach for them. Do not cook eggs in their shell in the microwave.
