Microwave Vegetable Omelet in a Mug

Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen vegetables (one type or a combination; e.g. onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach, tomato, asparagus)
• 1 tbsp water
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup shredded cheese (e.g. cheddar, mozzarella, feta)

Method

1. Spray the inside of a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray. Add the selected vegetable(s) and water.
2. Microwave on high power (default setting) until the vegetables are tender, about ½-3 minutes depending on the type of vegetable(s).
3. Use a paper towel to carefully soak up any liquid in the mug.
4. Add the eggs and cheese, whisking with a fork to combine. Microwave on high power (default setting) for 1 minute.
5. Stir gently with the fork, then continue microwaving until the eggs are just set but still moist, about 15-45 seconds.
6. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.

The handle of the mug may get hot. Be careful when removing the mug from the microwave, using hot pads or oven mitts if needed. This can be made with pre-cooked or leftover cooked vegetables. Reduce the amount to ½ cup, omit the water, and skip steps 2-3. This recipe can be made in a microwave-safe bowl instead of a mug.
