Lightened Up Sausage, Cheese & Eggs in a Mug
This year I have been working on eating better and that means I need to eat breakfast everyday. Well, breakfast that is more than just coffee. But I don’t have the time or energy to cook first thing in the morning. Microwave eggs in a mug are the perfect solution.
Mug Eggs
Mug eggs are great because I can add in anything that I would like in my omelette but it take only minutes to make. I simply put egg in a mug and then it can go right into the microwave. Breakfast is ready in no time.
Since I am watching what I eat, I am also concerned with making smarter choices. I love sausage. I really love it but my new healthier diet does not. I needed to find something that is less calories and fat. So instead of using regular sausage in my mug eggs, I am using turkey sausage. It is a simple way to lighten up these microwave eggs in a mug.
Tip for making eggs in a mug even faster:
- Add veggies to your eggs. To save time, cut them up ahead of time, or buy frozen pre-chopped veggies, like peppers and onions.
- Add in anything you like in your omelette. It will be just like having an omelette with only a fraction of the time.
- If you want to feel like you have an even fuller breakfast, add in frozen hash brown potatoes.
- What makes microwave eggs in a mug perfect? You can add in anything else you enjoy, like hot sauce, garlic or salsa.
