Follow The Directions

01

Step

Lightly coat a large, microwave-safe coffee mug with cooking spray. (less than 1 minute)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, pesto, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined. Gently pour the mixture into the prepared coffee mug. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stopping to stir at 30-second intervals (stir twice). This ensures even cooking and prevents overcooking. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully invert the cooked frittata onto a plate, or enjoy it directly from the mug. Garnish generously with fresh green onions.

For a richer flavor, try using a blend of Italian cheeses. Asiago or Pecorino Romano would be excellent additions.
Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for added nutrients and flavor. Just be sure to chop them finely.
If you prefer a firmer frittata, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.
This recipe is easily customizable to your liking. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and cheeses to create your signature microwave frittata!
Ensure your mug is truly microwave safe. Some mugs with metallic accents can cause sparks.

    My microwave tends to overcook things, so I reduced the cooking time by 15 seconds and it came out perfectly.
