One Minute Microwave Mug-O-Quiche

I guess this could be considered an interesting Single meal day because for lunch I decided to whip up two of my favourite quickie meals

 ONE MINUTE MICROWAVE QUICHE

I felt like eating a quiche but too lazy to go make one in the oven. So a Mug-O-Quiche with the Microwave would just have to do!

What you need:

1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon milk
1 egg
1/4 cup of toasted bread crusts torn into small pieces
pinch of salt/pepper and some dried herbs like oregano
4 cherry/grape tomatoes
1/4 cup of shredded cheese


What you need to do:

1. Put the butter in a large tall mug ( the taller the better because the mixture is going to expand in the mug and if your mug is too shallow you will get egg mix all over your microwave. A clever way to avoid that would be to cover the mug with glad wrap and poke holes in the top with a fork before nuking it in the microwave) Melt the butter on HIGH for 20 seconds.

2. Layer the bread ,tomatoes and shredded cheese layer by layer making sure the bread soaks up all that melted butter.

3. In a small bowl BEAT the egg until well mixed, POUR in the milk and herbs and MIX again before pouring it into the mug.

4. Place mug in the middle of the microwave. Cook on HIGH for 1-1 1/2 minutes.

Voila ! Enjoy your One Minute Mug-a-Quiche

For other variations you can add almost ANYTHING pre-cooked to the mix like leftover meatloaf or canned tuna! Experiment , but make sure you PRE-COOK all ingredients. One minute doesn't cook anything but the eggs in this recipe!

And to cool it off I made my

FROZEN APPLE GRANITA

You will need:

1-2 Apples ( I used sweet red apples which my mom keeps in the fridge so they are always cold. You can use just about any kind of chilled fruit) REMOVE the core and stem but keep the skin.
Handful of ice cubes
1 Tablespoon of brown sugar (or any type of sweetener or none if you are on a diet. Fruit can be sweet enough sometimes)

1. In a blender , place 1/4 cup of hot water, the ice cubes and the sugar and fruit and a pinch of salt if you wish.
2. Blend it up nice and smooth!
3. Enjoy with your Mug-o-Quiche


Well that was a lovely lunch ! Why don't you give it a try now!
