Kitchen-Sink Omelet in a Mug
These mug omelets are as easy as one, two, three: one mug, two minutes, three base ingredients (…and zero stovetops required— woohoo!). Each bite is packed with satiating protein, brain-boosting choline, and nutrient-rich veggies.
You can use whatever you have in your fridge and leftovers are encouraged. Plus, for added flavor and deliciousness, feel free to toss in your favorite herbs and spices. For an Italian-inspired omelet, opt for fresh or dried basil and oregano. Prefer Mexican flavors? Add cilantro, cumin and smoked paprika. And, if you’re a fellow hothead (when it comes to spice, that is), drizzle on some fiery hot sauce. This mug-nificent omelet is ideal for breakfast in a hurry or a snack in a pinch!
