Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs

(4)

Whip up eggs with a few simple ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, and you have the makings of a breakfast that’s prepped, seasoned and will be ready to eat in a little more than a minute before running out the door. If you don’t want to store the mixture in individual mugs, you can store it in an airtight container then transfer to a mug when you’re ready to cook it.
