Muggle Eggs

In searching for some quick, easy, and inexpensive yet wholesome recipes, I came across a recipe for making scrambled eggs in a coffee mug by using the microwave. I jotted it down on a piece of paper and can't find the original site it was from, but am going to share what was made this morning in 2 MINUTES.

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 TBSP milk
  • 2 TBSP shredded cheese
  • Coffee mug and fork
Directions
  • Beat the eggs, milk, and cheese with the fork in the mug
  • Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds, fluff with the fork
  • Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, fluff again
  • Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, fluff
Thoughts
  • Microwave ovens vary, so another 30 seconds may be needed to finish the cooking
  • Use water instead of milk
  • Add a small pinch of salt/pepper, Tabasco, or any other spices you might like. The small packs of salt and pepper most take-out places include are just the right amount, save them instead of throwing them away.
  • Mix all ingredients in a small plastic container to take to the office for a late morning snack (there is a microwave oven SOMEWHERE at work, usually in the break room)
  • Add some cooked meat (ground sausage, ham cubes, etc.) for a little more flavor
Overall, it is yet another quick, easy meal you can make without causing a lot of utensils, pots, and plates to have to wash. Plus, it can be made portable and satisfy that teen that is always hungry. Enjoy...
