This office mug meal is a fast, cheesy scrambled egg recipe made right in your mug. It’s the perfect hot protein-packed option for busy workdays or dorm nights.


Ingredients

Scale

2 eggs

2 tbsp milk

2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Chopped chives or parsley (optional)


Instructions

1. Crack eggs into a microwave-safe mug.

2. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Beat with a fork until fully mixed.

3. Stir in shredded cheese.

4. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.

5. Stir, then microwave for another 30–45 seconds until eggs are cooked through.

Microwave times may vary — stop as soon as eggs are set.
