Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk for lighter calories)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cooked meat (bacon, ham, sausage, or chicken; optional but tasty)
  • 1–2 tablespoons finely chopped low-carb veggies (spinach, bell pepper, mushrooms, green onion—pre-cooked if watery)
  • 1 teaspoon butter (or a drizzle of olive oil) to grease the mug
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like chives or parsley

Method
 

  1. Grease the mug: Rub the inside of a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces) with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk the base: Crack in the eggs and add heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Whisk with a fork until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Add mix-ins: Stir in cheese, chopped meat, and veggies. If using raw mushrooms or bell peppers, pre-sauté or chop very fine to avoid extra moisture.
  4. Microwave in bursts: Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir gently, scraping sides. Microwave another 20–30 seconds, then check. Continue in 10–15 second bursts until just set in the center.
  5. Rest and finish: Let it sit for 30–60 seconds to finish cooking from residual heat. Top with extra cheese, herbs, or hot sauce if you like.
  6. Serve: Eat straight from the mug or loosen with a spoon and slide onto a plate.
