Instructions

Recipe 1: Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Balsamic Drizzle

  1. Whisk the Eggs: In a microwave-safe mug, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed in the egg mixture.

  3. Microwave the Eggs: Microwave the mug on high for 30-45 seconds. After that, take the mug out and stir gently. Place it back in the microwave and cook for another 20 seconds. Repeat this process until the eggs reach your desired consistency.

  4. Add Feta Cheese: Once the eggs are scrambled, crumble the feta cheese on top of the eggs while they’re still hot.

  5. Drizzle Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the eggs. The balsamic will add a tangy richness to complement the flavors of the eggs and feta.

  6. Serve & Garnish: Optionally, you can garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added pop of flavor and color. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness!

  3. Add Feta & Smoked Salmon: Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and smoked salmon pieces. Microwave for another 20 seconds if you want the cheese to melt into the eggs.

  4. Add Cream Cheese (Optional): If you like your eggs creamier, you can add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the mixture at this point and microwave for an additional 20 seconds.

  5. Top with Avocado & Garnish: Top your scrambled eggs with thin slices of avocado, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkle of dill for added freshness.
