Instructions
-
Prep the Cups: Begin by greasing four microwave-safe mugs with a small amount of sunflower oil to ensure that your omelette slides out easily once cooked.
-
-
Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack open the whole eggs and add the additional egg whites. Season with black pepper and salt. Incorporate the finely chopped green bell peppers and onions. Whisk everything together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Fill the Mugs: Carefully pour the egg mixture into each greased mug, making sure to fill them only three-quarters full to prevent overflow during cooking.
-
Microwave Cooking: Place one mug in the microwave at a time and cook on high power for approximately two minutes. Keep a close eye on the mugs as they cook; if you notice the egg mixture bubbling over, pause the microwave, carefully remove the mug, and stir the contents. Return it to the microwave and continue cooking.
-
Check for Doneness: After two minutes, insert a fork into the omelette. If it comes out clean, your omelette is fully cooked. If there’s any egg residue on the fork, cook for an additional minute, checking again for doneness. Repeat this process until the fork comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the mugs from the microwave with care (they will be hot). Serve your Egg-Omelette-In-A-Mug warm, perhaps alongside some crunchy toast for dipping and a refreshing Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie for a wholesome breakfast experience.
Tips for Success
- Customization: Feel free to customize your omelette with your favorite vegetables or cheeses. Spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms work beautifully in this dish.
- Microwave Wattage: Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so adjust accordingly. If you’re uncertain, it’s better to undercook slightly and check again, as eggs can overcook quickly.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your omelette with fresh fruit, whole-grain toast, or a yogurt parfait for a well-rounded breakfast.
This Microwaved Egg-Omelette-In-A-Mug recipe exemplifies how cooking can be both simple and enjoyable, providing a perfect blend of convenience and flavor for your morning routine.
