Eggs are a great source of protein, and these eggs can be made without a stove! You may use any fresh, frozen or roasted veggies you like in this recipe.
Ingredients
Oil
- ½ teaspoon or 1 spritz of spray oil (olive, canola or avocado)
Eggs
- 2 large
Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon shredded cheese or low-fat cottage cheese
Vegetable
- ¼ cup fresh or roasted vegetables, chopped OR ½ cup frozen vegetables
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a large microwave-safe mug by spraying the inside with vegetable oil cooking spray.
Step 2
If using frozen vegetables, place veggies in the mug and microwave for 30 seconds or as long as it takes to defrost (in 30-second intervals). If using fresh vegetables, wash and chop them.
Step 3
Place remaining ingredients in the mug and stir to mix.
Step 4
Microwave on high for one minute. Check the omelet. If the egg is not completely set, continue to microwave in 20 seconds intervals until it is completely set.
Step 5
Run a knife around the edges of the omelet and slide it onto a serving plate or just eat it out of the cup.
Notes
To reduce total calories and cholesterol, use only 1 whole egg and substitute the second egg with 2 egg whites.
Using cottage cheese instead of shredded cheese helps to keep the omelet moist.
