Here's everything you need for this savory breakfast mug. You need just 5 minutes to make this delicious and hearty breakfast. Note — we recommend stiffer, harder bread for this, because softer sandwich bread may just get soggy and mushy.

Ingredients to Gather

1 cup stale bread pieces*
1/4 cup pre-cooked chopped meat
1/4 cup finely chopped vegetables
2 Tbsp shredded cheese
1 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp milk
1 large egg
Pinch of salt and pepper

Directions to Follow

Tear or cut the bread into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the meat and vegetables into small pieces. Shred the cheese.
Add the butter to the bottom of a large mug (10-12oz.) and microwave on high for 20 seconds or until it is fully melted. Whisk in the milk, egg, salt, and pepper with a fork.
Stir the meat, vegetables, and cheese into the milk and egg mixture first, then gently fold in the bread cubes until they are fully saturated.
Let the mug sit for one minute to fully absorb the liquid, then microwave on high for about 90 seconds, or until the center is solid and it has begun to pull away from the mug around the edges. Serve hot.

We like this recipe because you can mix and match ingredients and make it a different way every time. For example, one day make it with chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and cheddar cheese, the next day use turkey, broccoli, corn and mozzarella. Experimenting will be half the fun!
