Eggs in a mug

Something I make for my favorite gal, Melissa, when she doesn't have a lot of time for breakfast is a breakfast sandwich.  While making it I always think "it's so easy and quick to get a good breakfast!" Such an important part of being able to cook healthy is having the ingredients. Make sure to set yourself up for success by getting your grocery shopping done and having good options to go to in the

 fridge. 

   

Cook scrambled eggs in a mug and pair it with a whole wheat english muffin with a tomato or canadian bacon (or both!):  spray or butter a mug for easy removal, put egg (s) in mug and stir/whip with a fork.  Microwave one egg High on 35 to 45 seconds; two eggs 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 minutes, or until eggs begin to set, stirring with fork to break apart after half of the time.  Remove eggs when they are still soft and moist (you may have to play with the time depending on your microwave) Let stand about 2 minutes. Eggs will firm up while standing. 


Variations:  add spinach, herbs, parmesan cheese, salsa or leave out the english muffin all together and eat directly from the mug.
