Cheddar Corn Breakfast Mug

Name: Cheddar Corn Breakfast Mug
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: North American
Ingredients: 3 each Egg; 40 ml Milk; 70 g Frozen sweetcorn; 40 g Cheddar cheese; 5 g Unsalted butter; 1 g Fine salt

Eggs, corn and cheddar make a portioned mug breakfast that still needs attention as it cooks. Use large microwave-safe mugs with plenty of space, and work in short bursts so you can stir and check the centers.

Microwave power and mug shape affect how evenly the mixture cooks. Follow the method’s stirring and resting steps and use the stated temperature check rather than relying on a set-looking surface. This is useful when individual portions suit the morning, provided you can stay nearby for the finishing stages.
