Salted butter, for greasing the mug
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons finely diced ham
1 tablespoon finely diced green bell pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right mug: Use a microwave-safe mug that is large enough to hold the egg and any additional ingredients.

  • Cook the eggs in short intervals: Microwave the eggs in short intervals, stirring in between, to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Add mix-ins: Feel free to add mix-ins such as cheese, vegetables, or meat to your eggs before cooking.
  • Be careful when removing the mug from the microwave: The mug will be hot, so use a potholder or oven mitt to remove it from the microwave.
