Recipe: Spinach and Feta Mug Omelet
Gone are the days when omelets were reserved for a lazy weekend morning breakfast. Two minutes in the microwave is all that stands between you and plunging a fork into fluffy eggs studded with fresh spinach and salty pieces of feta.
This protein-packed meal makes a decent weekday breakfast feel manageable. It’s quick to pull together and easy enough to make in the office kitchen.
As the omelet cooks, the eggs will puff up and get some serious rise, so you’ll want to be sure to use a large-enough mug — one that’s 12 to 16 ounces is ideal. And if you don’t have your favorite mug handy, a thick paper cup or Mason jar can also get the job done.
