Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk (low-fat or nonfat/skim)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
Make it lactose-friendly
  • 2 tablespoons milk (low-fat or nonfat/skim) → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Lightly grease the inside of a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug.
  3. Use a fork to combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in the mug and stir well.  Mix in the vegetables and cheese.
  4. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds. Stir. Return to the microwave and cook on HIGH until the mixture has puffed and set, 60 to 90 seconds. The omelet may look wet on the top but it will dry as it cools.
  5. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
