Directions
Beat together eggs, milk and seasonings in a microwaveable mug. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, turning it back slightly to vent.

Tips
After beating eggs, add any of the following: chopped green onion or chopped green, red or yellow peppers, or chopped cooked vegetables or meats.
For breakfast on the go, cut a whole wheat pita bread in half and spoon egg mixture into both pockets.
Gluten Free
If using pre-packaged shredded cheddar cheese choose one that is gluten-free. If using Italian seasoning, check ingredients to make sure it is gluten-free. For variations, if adding meat, choose a gluten-free ham, sausage or deli meat, as processed meat products may contain fillers or seasonings made from wheat. And for breakfast on the go, substitute gluten-free bagel or toast to make a gluten-free breakfast sandwich.
Tips: Hard Boiled
To hard cook, place cold eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of cold water over the top of the eggs. Cover saucepan and bring quickly to the boil over high heat. Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. Let eggs stand in water for 18 to 23 minutes. Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs until cooled. This helps to prevent a dark or greenish ring from forming around the yolk. Remove egg from shell.
