I know that sounds weird… But trust me, it is so surprisingly easy and good, you’ll want to give it a try. Like, tomorrow. Or today, if you are just waking up. This is one of those quick breakfasts you can make and assemble in less than 5 minutes, wrap it in some tin foil to keep it warm, and walk out of the door to your hunting/fishing destination. I made this sort of on a whim with what I happened to have on hand, so it is pretty simple. So simple I was almost embarassedYou can also vary the ingredients to suit your taste buds, so be creative! *{See below for some variation inspiration}

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs – I used only egg whites, measuring about 1/2 as well
{if you are using whole eggs, add a tablespoon or so of milk to keep them nice and fluffy}
1 oz crumbled goat cheese, divided
8-10 leaves of fresh arugula
2 slices of bacon (cooked)
salt and pepper to taste
toast, English muffin, bagel – whatever you have handy!
condiment(s) of choice – I love mustard on these things. Judge me… It’s ok.

STEPS:

1. Assemble your desired ingredients. Spray a microwave-safe mug with a touch of canola cooking spray and add your eggs/egg whites. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, and stir briefly. If you’re using whole eggs, give them a good scramble with the milk. Then add the arugula leaves and 1/2 of the goat cheese, stirring again.

2. Microwave the eggs for about 1 minute, 30 seconds. Keep an eye on them though, as this might vary based on your microwave. We all know how unruly those things can be…

In the mean time, toast your sandwich vessel of choice. In this case, I had some good old fashioned bread nearby, so toast is what I made. {Side note} Question – can you really say you “made” toast? All you’re really doing it taking something already made and heating it to the point of crispy, crunchy, goldenbrownness, right?

I’m getting off track. So surprising, I know. Now I’m back. Your eggs should come out fully cooked, yet still fluffy and light.

3. Assembly time! While your toast is still hot, sprinkle on the remaining goat cheese so it will start to get all melty and delicious. The add your bacon. And then your eggs. I am telling you… I feel ridiculous typing out these steps, they are so easy. Like telling you how to correctly put on pants, which you have been doing for the past 20-60 years. Hey, I like to make all of y’all feel included.

I also didn’t take photos with the mustard all over the place on the side because… Well I was just embarrassed. Why yes, I would like a breakfast sandwich to go with my mustard. Thank you.

*Variation tips – Have some leftover venison sausage from, ohhh I don’t know, another recipe? That would be fantastic tossed in with the egg, along side some spinach leaves, diced tomato, some shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and perhaps a spoon full of peppers and onions for a bit of a kick!
Really any cheese that melts well will work, and you can base the other ingredients for your egg in a mug sandwich off of your favorite omelet!

PS – I typed “omelette” and my computer is telling me that is spelled incorrectly. “Omelet” looks weird though…
