Instructions
Grease the inside of a microwave-safe mug with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Crack the eggs into the mug and add the milk. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
Add the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, and onions to the mug. Season with salt and pepper, then stir gently.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check the omelette; if it's still runny, microwave for another 30 seconds.
Let the omelette sit in the mug for about 30 seconds to finish cooking from residual heat.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave. Run a knife around the edges if needed, then slide the omelette onto a plate or eat directly from the mug.
Chef's Tips
- Quick Customization: Add cooked bacon, ham, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Fluffier Omelette: Whisk the eggs vigorously to incorporate more air for a lighter texture.
- Avoid Overcooking: Microwave times may vary; check frequently to prevent the omelette from becoming rubbery.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with toast or a side of fresh fruit for a complete meal.
- Storage: Best enjoyed immediately; microwaved eggs can become rubbery if stored and reheated.
