Description
Microwave Egg Cups are a quick, customizable, and healthy breakfast option made in just 2 minutes. Perfect for busy mornings, these fluffy, protein-rich egg cups can be tailored with your favorite ingredients like cheese, veggies, and meats — all in a microwave-safe mug.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs: the protein-rich base for the egg cups
- 1 tbsp water: helps steam the eggs for a fluffy texture
- 2 tbsp diced tomatoes: adds moisture and fresh flavor
- 1 tbsp crumbled bacon: offers a smoky, savory crunch
- 2 tbsp shredded Cheddar cheese: melts over the top for creamy richness
- 1/4 avocado, sliced: adds creamy texture and healthy fats
Instructions
- Crack 2 eggs into a microwave-safe mug. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk well with a fork until fully combined.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and crumbled bacon, distributing evenly.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir gently, then continue microwaving in 15–20 second intervals until the eggs are just set (about 1½ to 2 minutes total).
- Immediately sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top so it melts from the residual heat.
- Top with fresh avocado slices and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow as eggs rise during cooking.
- Microwave power varies—adjust cooking time as needed.
- Chop and cook ingredients like bacon the day before for faster prep.
- Do not overcook; eggs will continue cooking slightly after being removed from the microwave.
