Quick Healthy Snack: How to Make a 3-Minute Microwave Quiche in a Mug

So I've shown you how to make meringues and soft caramel in the microwave, so I think it's about time to go for something savory rather than sweet: quiche in a mug, in the microwave in just three minutes! Doesn't that sound like a kitchen dream?

As much as I love eating, I don't always have the time or patience to cook myself a proper meal, and like most people, I loathe all that inevitable washing up that comes with big fancy meals. So if I'm in a hurry and in need of a good breakfast, or feeling snacky after work, this microwave quiche is literally the perfect solution.

Video Instructions:

You will need:

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ tablespoons whole milk
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 slice of bread, broken into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons grated cheddar
• 4 cherry tomatoes (quartered)
• Small handful spinach
• 2 spring onions (chopped)

The thing that I love about quiches is that you can throw in whatever you like: ham, cooked bacon, red onion, mushrooms, feta, etc. The choice really is yours. And if you have a bigger hole to fill in your tummy, simply double up the ingredients and use a nice big mug.
