Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 3 heaping tablespoons finely diced veggies
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese or grated cheddar
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- any preferred herbs or seasonings
Preparation
- Mist the inside of a (12-ounce) microwave-safe mug with oil spray. Add the egg and egg whites and whisk together. Mix in the rest of the ingredients until well-combined.
- Place the mug in the microwave, uncovered, and cook for 45 seconds.
- Remove and stir contents with a fork. Microwave for another 45 seconds.
- Remove and stir again. Wait for just a minute to see how much it has cooked. You might need just a bit more time or not.
- Microwave one last time for 30 more seconds, stirring at the 15-second mark and checking for doneness.
- Season with salt, pepper and herbs to taste!
