Egg Mugs! The 2 Minute Omelet in a Mug!

This morning I was surfing the web for protein packed post workout snack ideas and came across egg mugs! Basically an egg mug is an omelet that you make in the microwave in a coffee mug :) how clever! The best part is that your egg mug is an open slate for cooking creativity! You can use egg whites, whole eggs, egg beaters, add meat, cheese, any veggies you like, even add a slice of bread for a strata-like egg mug! Depending on if you are having this as a snack or a meal you can make your egg mug more or less caloric etc...This would be great to make at work too since you most likely cant whip out your omelet pan in the break room...Here is the combination of ingredients I used this morning for a snack and it was delish! I can't wait to try another combo of ingredients tomorrow morning!

Veggilicious Egg White Mug
Serves 1, Total time 5 minutes

4 egg whites
3 baby bella mushrooms sliced
small handful of torn fresh spinach
1 wedge laughing cow light sun dried tomato mozzarella cheese
cooking spray
salt and pepper to taste


spray a microwave safe mug lightly with cooking spray.
Add the egg whites and lightly scramble. scramble in the sliced mushrooms, spinach, cheese and salt and pepper. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir gently and microwave for an additional 30-45 seconds or until eggs are just set and fluffy.

Thats it! How easy is that?! And it was soooo good! Be careful though, the eggs are REALLY hot so make sure you don't burn your mouth ( theres nothing worse).

Apparently I am a little late to discover this egg mug trend...I found this webpage with several different combos that all sound delicious! Check it out :)  http://www.hungry-girl.com/books/6/1/all
