In this fast-paced world, breakfast is often seen as a luxury more than a necessity. You don’t have time to eat it and you’ll wait for lunch. You woke up too late and have too much to do before you can actually sit down and enjoy a hearty meal. We’ve all been here before, and it almost never leads to a good rest of the day.
But eating breakfast prevents you from devouring more during other meals and generally promotes a healthy lifestyle. So if you’re stuck in the constant cycle where you avoid this ever-important first meal, fear not! All you need are some basic ingredients, a microwave, and a coffee cup for a breakfast that anyone could fit into their schedule.
To start this lightning-quick recipe, you’ll need an English muffin, one large egg, two tablespoons of grated cheese, salt and pepper, and a regular-sized coffee mug.
You can also substitute the English muffin with another carb, like flatbread or a bagel.
You’ll also need one teaspoon of butter. Once you have the butter, lightly spread it on the inside of the mug.
Next, whisk the egg and mix in salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the egg for 30 to 35 seconds in the microwave on high heat.
Once the egg is cooked, add your cheese. Cook again in the microwave for ten to 15 seconds.
Once your cheese is melted, carefully take the egg/cheese mix out of your coffee cup…
…and add it to your toasted English muffin. You’re all done!
For some extra fun, you can add bacon to your egg mix.
Because bacon makes every breakfast better.
