This is the start of a new project for Vargr. The "Ina Mug" series.
Perfect for office or workplaces, hotels, dorms, etc., where all you have is a microwave, fridge to keep things cool, and some simple tools like knives, forks, spoons, and of course, microwave-safe coffee mugs.
Most of these should only take a few minutes to prepare.
This first is done, start to finish, in under 3 minutes!
To begin the series, lets start off with Breakfast! It seems appropriate!

Omelet Ina Mug
Ever want a quick breakfast, but didn't want to mess up a pan (or didn't have one), and didn't want to take a lot of time? Perfect for an office breakfast, if you only have a coffee cup and a microwave. Takes about 3 minutes, start to finish, to make.
And best of all, it tastes pretty darn good! A touch of Tarragon, a bit of cheese, and a sliver of butter. Add some pepper and your favorite seasoned salt (Vargr likes “Omnivore Salt†or “Bacon saltâ€), and it has wonderful flavor!
And no fat to fry in. So its pretty healthy too!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 teaspoons milk
½ American cheese slice (or a tablespoon of your fav cheese)
Sliver of butter (less than a pat)
Pinch of Tarragon
Pinch seasoned salt
Pinch pepper
Directions:
Crack 2 eggs into a microwave-safe coffee mug.
Add the milk, Tarragon, Seasoned Salt, and Pepper.
Whisk together (or use a fork) until blended well, and pretty much all the same color.
Tear up the ½ cheese slice into small bits, and drop in.
Add the sliver of butter.
Microwave on high for one (1) minute. You will find a well cooked, puffy section and part that is still very liquid. Stir thoroughly together.
Microwave another 10-25 seconds on high. Microwaves vary in power and performance; watch through the window until it puffs up nicely. It will fall like a souffle when removed.
Remove, and enjoy!
Note: microwaving too long will dry it out and make it tough, so watch carefully after stirring it up, for the second heating session.
Variations:
Bits of chopped mushrooms (pre-cooked (use canned)), some small diced tomatoes, parsley, chives, diced bits of avocado, diced ham, ready-cooked bacon (crumbled), some canned spinach (drained), etc.
Just remember, it cooks FAST so onions, bell peppers, and fresh mushrooms should be cooked a bit first, or they'll be raw.
And go easy on the fillings; there isn't much room in a mug for lots of stuff, and if you use too many tomatoes or other watery ingredients, it will be runny.Attachment: Omelet ina Mug.jpg (Downloaded 5 times)
