Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Fillings (optional)

  • Green pepper, finely diced
  • Yellow onion, finely diced
  • Ham, finely diced
  • Cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mug: Spray a microwave-safe mug generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the omelet from sticking to the sides, ensuring easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Add Eggs: Crack 2 large eggs directly into the prepared mug, creating the base for your omelet.
  3. Mix Eggs and Water: Add 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs, then stir vigorously with a fork until fully combined. This will help to create a fluffy texture when cooked.
  4. Season the Eggs: Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, enhancing the flavor of the omelet.
  5. Add Fillings: Incorporate your choice of fillings such as finely diced green pepper and yellow onion, diced ham, crumbled cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly throughout the egg mixture.
  6. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so cook until the eggs are fully set and fluffy. Avoid overcooking to prevent rubbery texture.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary; start with 1 minute and check, then continue in 15-second intervals as needed.
  • You can substitute water with milk or cream for a creamier texture.
  • Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
  • Use a larger mug if adding lots of fillings to prevent overflow.
