Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 ounce Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green chilies (diced, canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Cooked bacon or ham (optional, diced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Butter or non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the mug and whisk them thoroughly with a fork until well beaten.
Step 3
Add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, and cooked bacon or ham (if using). Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of ground cumin, if desired. Stir again to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 5
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute.
Step 6
Remove the mug, stir the mixture gently, and then microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes in 30-second intervals. Stop once the eggs are fully set and the quiche has puffed up slightly.
Step 7
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!), and let the quiche cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Enjoy your green chili quiche directly from the mug or invert it onto a plate for serving.
