2 minute scrambled eggs on the go:
Love the idea of eggs for breakfast, but hate the time commitment (and dirty dishes) they require? Cook your eggs in the microwave, instead. Coffee cup eggs only require one dish: a microwave safe coffee cup spritzed with a bit of non-stick spray. You can crack your eggs directly into the cup, give them a little stir, and they will cook up light and fluffy in under two minutes. You can change up the flavor of your eggs by adding different ingredients such as spinach and tomatoes, ham and cheese, or even leftovers from last night’s dinner.
