Scrambled Eggs in a Mug

This mug recipe was just so good. This can be made with just cheese and a pinch of bacon bits too though, or load it up with your favorite additions like sausage and mushrooms. Either way you make this easy breakfast in a mug recipe it’s a winner for any age.

My kids absolutely love being able to cook a quick treats like this strawberry cake in a mug or chocolate chip cookie in a mug after school. My teens will try all sorts of things and this was one when they were craving something savory one morning. Yay them for sharing!

Can You Cook Eggs in a Cup?

I don’t know about you but my kiddos really need something hearty in the morning that will stick with them until snack time which is mid afternoon. A lot of times a piece of toast or cereal doesn’t really cut it. One day my mom was watching them and experimented with this instead of making it in a pan and it worked great! You need about 5 minutes start to finish to add ingredients, whisk and cook.

It is a similar idea to what I make during the holidays in a much larger batch, though during the week I don’t always have time to make Crockpot scrambled eggs so this one is great for individual meals.

• Occasionally they will make a minute cinnamon roll in a mug.
• When I want them (or me) to load up on protein this is a perfect breakfast mug recipe.

You really just whip up 2 eggs, add your ingredients, microwave, add cheese, microwave again, and then enjoy!!I bought these already cooked sausages at the store so they are in the fridge and they can microwave them beforehand for 15 seconds.

How to Microwave Egg Whites

You can separate and just cook egg whites for less calories and fat, or use the whole thing like we do. The timing won’t change. Dice mushrooms if you like too, shred cheese and add to their mug along side their other favorite other items like bacon bits (already cooked and diced in a bag in the fridge too) so everything is handy and it can be cooked really quickly.

A lot of times I make this breakfast in a mug recipe for lunch since I work from home and it tides me over until dinner. Pair it with our pancake in a mug and what a meal! If you wanted it simple with just salt and pepper you could opt for that too.

Yep, we are here to show you how!! You always want to lightly spray non stick cooking spray on the inside of your microwave safe mug so you don’t miss out on the food stuck.
