Microwave the mixture on high for about 1 minute. After that, check the egg's doneness. If it isn't fully set, continue microwaving in 15-30 second increments until cooked through.
Yes, you can substitute ham with other cooked meats like turkey, bacon, or sausage. Make sure the alternative is fully cooked before adding it to the mug.
If there are leftovers, let the dish cool and refrigerate in an airtight container. Consume within 1-2 days for best quality. Reheat in the microwave before eating.
You can substitute cheddar cheese with other types like mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack. Each cheese will slightly change the flavor, so choose one based on your preference.

- Spray the inside of the mug with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
