- Feel free to add extra ingredients like chopped veggies or spices to customize the flavor to your liking.

- Microwave cooking times can vary, so start with one minute and then cook in 15-second intervals until the egg is done to your preference.

- Let the mug sit for a minute or two after microwaving to allow the egg to finish cooking and to cool slightly.
