Cheesy Eggs in a Mug

When you’re in the mood for eggs for breakfast and don’t have time to cook on the stove, give this recipe a try. You’ll get a good serving of protein along with vitamin C and a few other important nutrients. You’ll need these ingredients for this egg recipe:

• Cooking spray
• 1 cup chopped broccoli
• 1 tsp water
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp low-fat or skim milk
• 1 tbsp chopped red bell peppers
• 1 sliced green onion
• 1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
• Salt
• Black pepper

For this recipe, you’ll need to use non-stick cooking spray on the inside of a microwavable mug. After coating the mug, add the broccoli and water, and microwave for a minute or two on full power. Add the eggs, sliced onion, red pepper pieces and milk to the mug, and use a fork to beat the egg mixture. Microwave the egg and broccoli mixture for 45 seconds, then stir and microwave for about 30 seconds. Remove the mug from the microwave, and top the egg mixture with the shredded cheese. Cover the mug with foil to let the cheese melt for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.
