Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite variety)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cooked vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers, tomatoes)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Butter or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Lightly grease the inside of a microwave-safe coffee cup with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the coffee cup and add the milk.

Step 3

Whisk the eggs and milk together with a fork until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked vegetables, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Place the coffee cup in the microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds.

Step 6

Remove the cup from the microwave, stir the egg mixture to ensure even cooking, and return it to the microwave.

Step 7

Cook for another 30 seconds, stir again, and repeat in 15-second intervals until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy. (Total cooking time is typically 1.5–2 minutes depending on your microwave's power.)

Step 8

Let the Coffee Cup Scramble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it straight from the mug or transfer it to a plate!
