Microwave Mug Omelette

Method

1. 1
   • butter 1 tsp

   Grease the mug — Grease a large microwave-safe mug well with butter, making sure to coat the sides so the omelette doesn't stick.

2. 2
   • egg 3
   • milk 2 tbsp
   • salt 1 pinch
   • black pepper to taste

   Whisk the egg mixture — In the mug, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

3. 3
   • spring onion 1
   • cheddar 4 tbsp
   • cherry tomato 2

   Add the fillings — Stir in the sliced scallion, grated cheddar, and quartered cherry tomatoes.

4. 4
   • egg 3

   Microwave and stir — Microwave on high for about 45 seconds, then remove and stir the mixture with a fork to break up any set edges and redistribute the runny egg.

   Microwave until just set — Return to the microwave for another 30-45 seconds on high, until the omelette is just set, puffed up and no longer wet on top.

   ⏱40 sec
6. 6
   • fresh parsley 1 tbsp

   Rest and plate the omelette — Let it rest for a moment, scatter over the chopped parsley, then run a knife around the edge and tip the fluffy omelette out onto a plate, or eat it straight from the mug.
