Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Grater
- Mixing Bowl
- Chef's Knife
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk or non-dairy alternative
- 2 tbsp Chopped Tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
- 1/2 cup Grated Cheese of choice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by taking a large mug or microwave-safe bowl. Add butter and melt it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Watch it closely to avoid burning.
- Once melted, whisk together the butter, egg, and milk in the mug using a fork. You want to combine them well until you get a smooth mixture. The consistency should be creamy and slightly frothy.
- Next, sprinkle in the chopped tomatoes and fresh spinach. Stir everything together until the veggies are well-distributed throughout the mixture.
- Add the grated cheese, followed by a pinch of salt and pepper. This is your chance to customize! Feel free to add any other mix-ins you love.
- Cover the mug with a plate or a paper towel. This is important as it helps the egg to puff up while cooking.
- Microwave on high for about one minute. Keep an eye on it—microwave times can vary. You know it’s ready when the egg has puffed up and looks set.
- After microwaving, let it sit for a minute. This helps the steam settle and makes it easier to eat.
- If desired, top with additional fresh ingredients like herbs or green onions to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your Easy Microwave Quiche straight from the mug. It’s a fun way to eat breakfast!
