This microwave egg and cheese mug recipe is a quick, high-protein breakfast made in just 5 minutes. Fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and customizable add-ins make it perfect for busy mornings.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Cooking spray (optional)

  • Optional: diced vegetables, cooked bacon, green onions

Instructions

  • Lightly coat a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray.

  • Crack the eggs directly into the mug.

  • Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until fully combined.

  • Stir in shredded cheese and any optional add-ins.

  • Microwave on high for 60 seconds.

  • Stir gently.

  • Microwave for another 30–60 seconds until eggs are set but still soft.

  • Let rest for 30 seconds before eating (they will continue to cook slightly).

  • Enjoy directly from the mug or spoon onto toast.

Notes

  • Microwave times vary; adjust in 15-second intervals.

  • Do not overcook—eggs become rubbery quickly.

  • Always use a large mug to prevent overflow.
