Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs

I discovered these Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs on one of those mornings when I hit snooze too many times and needed a quick but satisfying breakfast that still felt like a little treat. I threw a few simple ingredients into a mug, popped it in the microwave, and in just minutes I was savoring a warm, fluffy scramble bursting with fresh spinach and creamy feta and it felt like I’d pulled off a magic trick before even leaving the house.

What I love most about these Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs is how they turn an ordinary morning into something a bit more special with minimal effort and minimal dishes and the salty feta with tender spinach makes each bite so delicious that I sometimes end up making them even on relaxed weekend mornings when I could take my time.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Eggs – The main protein-packed base that becomes fluffy and creamy.
• Fresh spinach – Adds a pop of green and a mild earthy flavor.
• Feta cheese – Brings salty, tangy creaminess to each bite.
• Milk – Makes the eggs extra soft and tender.
• Olive oil or butter – Helps prevent sticking and adds richness.
• Salt and black pepper – Essential for balancing and enhancing the flavors.

Tools You’ll Need

• Microwave-safe mug – The perfect one-dish cooking and serving vessel.
• Fork – For whisking the eggs and stirring everything together.
• Measuring spoons – To add the perfect amount of milk and oil.
• Small knife – To chop or tear the spinach if needed.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the mug

I lightly grease my mug with a bit of olive oil or butter to keep the eggs from sticking and to add some flavor.

Step 2: Whisk the eggs

I crack the eggs directly into the mug and add milk, then I whisk everything well with a fork until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3: Add the extras

I stir in the fresh spinach (torn into smaller pieces if needed) and crumble in the feta cheese, mixing to distribute them evenly.

Step 4: Microwave the eggs

I microwave the mug on high for about 30 seconds, then stir, and continue microwaving in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until the eggs are fluffy and set to my liking.

Step 5: Season and serve

I finish by seasoning with salt and black pepper and enjoy straight from the mug for a warm, cozy breakfast.

Tips

If you like your scramble extra cheesy, I suggest adding a little extra feta or even some shredded cheddar. You can also mix in chopped tomatoes or herbs like basil for more flavor. And if you’re in a rush, you can prep the spinach and feta the night before so everything is ready to toss in.

Ways to Serve

I love eating these right out of the mug for a quick breakfast, but they’re also great served over a slice of toasted sourdough or wrapped in a warm tortilla for a speedy breakfast wrap. You can even pack it into a container and take it to work for a protein-rich snack.
