YAWWN! I am a lazy panda and I don't like cooking much. Especially cooking on open fire is a pain for me. Thus microwave is the knight-in-shining-armor for me! I usually look online for quick and easy microwave recipes which can be done and dusted within 15 mins to an hour at max and requires easily available tools and ingredients. Usually when we return home from office we feel really hungry. It is then too early for dinner but we are too tired to cook any snacks. But ordering junk food daily or keeping the stomach empty for long hours isn't really great for either our health or our purses. Thus just for starters, I thought of searching for some easy recipes for evening snacks that can be made in a jiffy! So I zeroed upon the 2-minute Microwave Mug Omelette. I made it as an evening snack but it is quite effective for a healthy breakfast too! It is easy-peasy to cook and tastes yummy! And you get to serve it in the mug that you cook it in. So no extra dishes to clean! Yayy!

Ingredients for One Mug Omelette:
1 large egg
2 Tbs milk
salt and black pepper to taste
1 Tb Oil/ Molten Butter
Add-ins: (if you want to do this for several days in a row, have all your add-in ingredients prepped and ready to go in a partitioned Tupperware or Ziploc bags and just toss into the omelette as you wish.)
raw onions diced tomatoes
green peppers
finely diced jalapeno
shredded cheese (cheddar, etc..)
crumbled cooked sausage
diced cooked ham
cooked crumbled bacon
I used onions, tomatoes, sausage and shredded cheese as my add-ins
Directions:
In a bowl beat one egg, a splash of milk, salt and pepper well. The milk makes the omelette soft and fluffy. Then add the add-ins of your choice and mix well. Spray or spread oil or butter inside a microwave safe mug or bowl then pour in the omelette mixture. Top with some extra shredded cheese and put in the microwave in Microwave mode at HIGH for 2-3 minutes (depending on your microwave wattage). I put it in for 21/2 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy.
