Pin it here ==>> )
In honor of National Egg month, I wanted to share my favorite protein filled quick breakfast with you: a 2 Minute Omelette in a Mug.
Seriously, this Omelette in a mug recipe really only takes 2 to 3 minutes to put together, and the best part is that it is very flexible based on what you have in your fridge.
Our family goes through so many eggs in a week, we are now buying them by the 5 dozen case from the warehouse store. We just love ’em. They’re inexpensive, and are great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and especially snacks. (We go through hard-boiled eggs by the dozen. and my latest trick has been to hard-cook 18 or so at a time in my pressure cooker!)
I stumbled across this weight loss study that looked at eggs versus carbs for breakfast. After reading the article, I’ve been trying to kick my morning cereal habit and eat more eggs. (Basically, the study says that after 8 weeks of eating eggs vs bagels, the egg eating diet group had 61% greater reduction in BMI, 65% more weight loss, 34% greater reduction in waist circumference and 16% greater reduction in body fat.)
* Just a quick little update (12/17)… I wrote this post in Jan 2013 and in Feb 2014, I did kick that carb and sugar habit to the curb, resulting in a 30-pound weight loss that I’ve maintained by sticking to a mostly no sugar WOE. If you’d like to see more low sugar/low carb recipes, I have a nice little collection of family-friendly low carb recipes here.

Rating 5 stars for quick recipes for singles as i haven’t made yet. Question is do I need to add salsa for moisture? Not a salsa fan. Thank you,

You don’t. You can add a splash of milk.

I just made this omelette. I used one egg, the cheese and a precooked sausage link that I sliced. Eggcellent! I would coat the mug with melted butter. I didn’t care for the cooking spray.
Jonathan Vargas says
what you mean with salsa? what kind of salsa?
Jamie says
Whatever kind of salsa you prefer…
My current fave is the Herdez Mild Salsa. (http://amzn.to/1OcPWMW) Good flavor without any spiciness and no added sugar.
Matt Darling says
any kind… salsa is salsa
