Breakfast In A Mug

Our niece is heading off to college in the next week or two and that had me wondering. How do you cook/eat healthy food in your little ol' dorm room when all you have handy is a microwave and dorm refrigerator handy?

Here is a recipe I found in this pdf pamphlet titled "Dorm Room Recipes". I think it's quick, easy, healthy and includes a healthy portion of protein.

Breakfast In A Mug
2 teaspoons butter

1 Tablespoon milk

2 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoon shredded cheese

1.) Place the butter in a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high about 20 seconds until melted and sizzling.

2.) Add the milk, eggs, salt and pepper, and whisk with a fork. Microwave on high about 30 second until it just begins to set. Give it a quick stir with a fork. Microwave for about 30 seconds until almost completely set but still moist (your microwave may cook faster or slower, so be sure to check the eggs occasionally while cooking). In our microwave I needed another 30 seconds.

3.) Remove eggs from microwave and sprinkle with cheese. We had Sargento Bistro Pizza Cheese on hand. Let sit for one minute to let cheese melt. This is as puffy as any souffle when it's done!

You don't have to live in a dorm room to appreciate the ease of this recipe! Our 11 year old liked the independence of making eggs himself with out the pan to wash.

We think this is a 4 spoon recipe - yummy and useful. Paired with a Granny Smith apple and voila you have a filling, healthy and hot breakfast. Do you have a healthy dorm room recipe to share?
