Directions

- Lightly grease the inside of a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug.
- Use a fork to combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in the mug and stir well. Mix in the vegetables and cheese.

Comments
I am surprised how well this works. Only one dish to clean, its fast, and tasty. I served samples of this at college food pantries. Many people didn't know you could microwave eggs and were pleasantly surprised at the fluffy moist texture of the eggs. This is a great way to get some veggies in your breakfast or just use up little bits of left over veggies. I like adding broccoli, bell pepper, and green onions to mine.
This recipe is a go-to weekday breakfast that I make often. It's very flexible, you can add different spices and vegetables. My favorite breakfast right now is to make this with garlic, tomatoes, basil, and cheese.
this was really good! I really liked it and it was very simple to make. I added in a bit of jalapeno and onion to mine. That turned out really good! I plan on making this again sometime!
