Ingredients
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons chopped fresh spinach
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe mug and whisk together with the whole milk until well combined.
Stir in the chopped fresh spinach and crumbled feta cheese until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir gently with a fork to ensure even cooking.
Continue microwaving until the eggs are set and reach an internal temperature of 160F, with no liquid remaining in the center. This typically takes another 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on your microwave.
Remove the mug from the microwave carefully, as it will be hot. Let cool for 1 minute, then slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
Comments
This is a legitimate weeknight winner. All ingredients are staples at any Charlotte grocer—eggs and milk are everywhere, spinach is reliably stocked year-round, and feta is a standard dairy find at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Publix. The stated 8 minutes is honest for a microwave omelet: whisk, cook, eat. Cost per serving lands around $1.50 to $2.00, driven entirely by the feta, which is still a bargain protein. The single caveat is portion size—one mug omelet won't stretch to feed a family, and the texture (custardy and soft rather than folded) is atypical for omelet lovers, but for a solo breakfast or quick meal it reheats poorly and is best eaten fresh.
