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.
