Microwave Mug Quiche Recipe
Description
The recipe creates an easy quiche cooked in a mug by first mixing basic baking ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, milk, and olive oil—to form a quick pastry layer on the bottom. Then, a filling of beaten egg, additional milk or water, cheese, and cooked ham is gently layered on top without disturbing the base layer.
Microwaving for about 1 minute 20 seconds to 2 minutes cooks the egg filling until it is firm and risen, producing a soft, custard-like texture typical of quiche. This technique bypasses traditional preparation involving crust pastry and oven baking.
The resulting quiche is a handy individual portion suitable for a quick breakfast or snack. Using the microwave considerably shortens cooking time and cleanup. The recipe allows some flexibility in ingredients but emphasizes gentle layering and careful timing for best texture.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/16 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk (for the pastry)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg , beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk (or water, for the quiche filling)
- 2 tablespoon cheese , grated
- 1 tablespoon ham chopped, cooked
Notes
- Microwave cooking times may vary depending on the microwave wattage; watch for the egg to be firm and risen.
- Mix the filling gently on top of the base to keep the layers distinct in the mug.
- Enjoy the quiche immediately for best texture and warmth.
