Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 large eggs
  • 2.0 tablespoons milk
  • 0.25 cup spinach, chopped
  • 0.25 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 2.0 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
  • 2.0 tablespoons cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1.0 tablespoon shredded cheese
  • 1.0 spray cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Mug: Lightly spray a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray or brush it with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Mix the Base: In the mug, crack the large eggs and add the tablespoons of milk. Whisk together until fully combined.
  • Add Veggies: Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using cheese, add it now.
  • Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. After the minute is up, stir the mixture and return to the microwave for an additional 0.5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Serve: Once done, carefully remove the mug (it will be hot!). Let it cool for a minute, then enjoy your veggie-packed omelet straight from the mug!
