Recipe Notes
Each egg is roughly 4 tablespoons. Whisk up 1 egg and take away 2 tablespoons
Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug
You can bake them in the oven at 350F (180C) for roughly 10-12 minutes. However, every mug is different so I advise checking on it after 10 and then make a call.
