Coffee Cup Quiche

Coffee Cup Quiche Let’s start off this list of mug treats with breakfast. I can eat breakfast any time of the day and it always tastes amazing. Quiche, from what I’ve heard, can be a little tricky to make so when I saw that you can recreate the flaky and savory dish in just a few steps, I was sold.

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 ½ tablespoons of milk
Salt
Black pepper
¼ piece of bread or bagel
2 teaspoons of cream cheese
½ slice of ham or prosciutto if you’re fancy
Freshly chopped thyme or green onions
Dijon Mustard

Mix the egg and milk together with a fork in your mug, add salt and pepper to taste. Next, tear up the bread or bagel into small, dime-size pieces with the cream cheese and stir it all in. Cut up your ham or prosciutto, mix and sprinkle thyme or onions on top. Microwave the mug on high for about a minute and 10 seconds and garnish with additional thyme or chives on top.

French toast is like dessert for me and I’m always down for dessert as a meal so I can see quite a few of these being made in my future. I’m not encouraging eating on the run, but this is a fun way to enjoy a delicious breakfast even if you’re short on time.

1-1 ½ slices of bread of choice, cubed
Pat of butter
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
Cinnamon
Vanilla Extract (optional)

Place the pat of butter on the bottom of your mug and add in the cubed bread. You can smoosh the bread in a little if needed. Next, in a separate mug or bowl, crack the egg and add milk, cinnamon and the vanilla extract if desired and mix. Pour the mixture on top of the mug of cubed bread and give it a minute to soak in. Place your mug in the microwave and cook it until it’s the desired consistency, typically around a minute and 20 seconds.

Red Velvet Mug Cake

Red Velvet Mug Cake Enough of breakfast, let’s get into some deliciously decadent desserts! Red velvet is one of my personal favorites and I like it so much that I’d probably eat socks if they had cream cheese frosting on top! I think this is the perfect way to satisfy a cake craving without having to make a whole cake or a bunch of cupcakes.

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons of flour, all purpose
2 tablespoons of sugar
½ tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
2 tablespoons of butter milk
1 tablespoons of fat free milk
½ tablespoon of vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon of white vinegar
¼ teaspoon of red food coloring

Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 ounce of cream cheese
1 ounce of butter
4-5 tablespoon of powdered sugar

Directions:
Mix all of your ingredients into a large mug and whisk until your batter is smooth. Cook the batter in the microwave for about a minute. Now comes the hard part, letting it sit for about 30 minutes to let the cake cool and allow flavors to develop. While you’re waiting, mix your cream cheese frosting ingredients together and mix on high speed until it’s fluffy. Once your cake is ready, add the frosting and dig in.
