Two eggs, a handful of vegetables and some cheese, cooked in a mug in the microwave. It is ready in less time than it takes to brew your coffee.

The only trick is stopping at the right moment. Eggs keep cooking after the microwave stops, so pull the mug while they still look slightly soft.

method

Spray a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray.
Crack the eggs into the mug, add the milk and whisk with a fork until well combined.
Stir in the bell peppers, cheese and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir.
Microwave for another 30 to 60 seconds, until the eggs are set.

chef's tips

Use a large mug. The eggs puff up as they cook and a small mug will overflow.
Stop while the top still looks a touch soft. The eggs finish cooking in the hot mug.
Microwaves vary. Check after the first 30 seconds of the second round.
