Cheesy 2-Egg Mug Omelet
Slightly adapted from Mug Meals [1] by Leslie Bilderback
Notes
An omelet is a very personal breakfast, and it is very easy to make it your own. This is my favorite, but there are innumerable options, as you will see in the variations below.
Mushrooms: Add 1/4 cup chopped cremini, shiitake, or white button mushrooms to the butter and scallion.
Denver: Add 1/4 cup chopped ham, 2 tablespoons chopped red or green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion to the butter at the beginning of the recipe.
Cheese options: Any cheese you like can make a great omelet. Try something new by using goat, feta, or blue cheese. This is also a great place to use up that leftover cheese from the cheese plate you served at last night's party.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped scallion, optional
1/4 teaspoon dried herbes de Provence or dried thyme
1 tablespoon whole milk
2 large eggs
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions
- In a large mug, combine the butter, scallion, and herbes de Provence and microwave for 15 seconds, or until the butter has melted. Add the milk and eggs and whisk until frothy. Stir in the salt, pepper, and cheese. Microwave for another minute, until the egg is firm. Serve immediately.
