Who says there isn’t enough time for a healthy omelet in the morning? This unbelievably quick recipe is cooked in a few minutes courtesy of a mug and the microwave.
Ingredients
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
2 Tbsp fat-free milk
pinch salt and pepper
1/4 cup packed fresh spinach leaves or other greens
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped bell pepper
2 Tbsp chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
Directions
1. Coat the inside of a 12-ounce (or larger) coffee mug with cooking spray.
2. Add eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and pepper into the mug. Whisk together with a fork. Stir in spinach, onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes.
3. Place in the microwave and cook on high heat for 1 minute. Continue cooking in 30 second intervals as to not overcook the eggs, removing the mug when eggs are puffy and set. Cooking time will depend on the microwave wattage but probably be around 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Top with scallions and eat immediately.
