Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the two large eggs into a microwave-safe mug (about 10-12 oz size).

  2. 2

    Add the milk, salt, and pepper to the mug. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.

  3. 3

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives.

  4. 4

    Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir gently with a fork to break up any cooked portions. Return to the microwave.

  5. 5

    Microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the eggs are set. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage. The omelet should be puffed up and firm to the touch.

  6. 6

    Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let it stand for 30 seconds before serving. You can eat it directly from the mug or slide it onto a plate.
