Instructions

1

Prepare the Mug

Place the butter in a large microwave-safe mug and microwave for 15 seconds until melted. Tilt the mug to coat the inside with butter to prevent sticking.

2

Mix the Eggs

Crack both eggs into the buttered mug and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Beat vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is uniform.

3

Microwave in Intervals

Microwave on high for 45 seconds, remove and stir with a fork, then microwave again for another 30 to 45 seconds until the eggs are just set but still slightly glossy on top.

Add Cheese and Rest

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot eggs and let the mug sit for 30 seconds without microwaving so the residual heat melts the cheese. Eat directly from the mug.

Substitutions

whole milkany plant-based milk such as oat or almond milk works equally well
cheddar cheeseany melting cheese such as mozzarella, Swiss, or Gouda

Common mistakes

Microwaving the eggs all at once without stopping to stir which produces rubbery overcooked eggs with a tough texture
Skipping the butter coating step which causes the eggs to stick to the mug and makes cleanup very difficult
