It’s morning, which means it’s time to rise, shine and grab a mug for some steaming…omelet? That’s right!

Skip the coffee (or have it, but grab a second mug) and whip up an easy-breezy western mug omelet, complete with vitamin-C-packed green bell peppers, protein-rich eggs and ham, flavorful onions, and of course, melty cheese. In only three minutes with just a single mug (can you say fuss-free?), you’ll have a morning meal fit for a king or queen. It’s mug-nificent!
