Every time i wake up i instantly open bigger bolder baking to make my breakfast xD theyre so good! Till now, i tried the pizza like three times , the cookie , the pop tart , the egg tortilla , and the egg mug muffin. They. Are. So. Good! Ur awesome Gemma !
I thought I would give the recipe a try, just to explore the possibilities of cooking a meal in a mug. It was breakfast time, and I just said, “Lets do this!”. Eating a mug meal is a different experience. Your brain is looking at it thinking, “That isn’t coffee, what’s breakfast doing in there…” but the egg flavors go well with the cheese and scallion. The purpose of a mug meal is to help you in those moments when you don’t have time. If my wife is hungry, and wants me to pick her up from work, and I… Read more »
Really not a fan of this one (and I really wanted to be!) I tried it twice… adding a little diced veggie dog. The flavour is good, but the muffin part was overcooked on the outside and the egg & dough in the center was undercooked… We choked half of it down and the rest went in the trash 🙁

Perfect and tasty, my egg inside was slightly runny, used 1 min 18 secs at default power 100 (LG microwave), Enjoyed it, was very good, used a Corning Ware soup bowl
not enough vegetables, Gemma! I hope you compensate on other days, and yes, I probably do sound like your mother. I’m old enough to be her, I’m sure. OK when you don’t have much time, but those greens are important
Hi Gemma! I just made this recipe, it was the perfect serving size, extremely easy to make and absolutely delicious! Instead of adding cheddar and scallions, I added sundried tomato, mozzarella, and basil.. love how versatile this recipe is! I will definitely be coming back to try your other recipes.. especially the mugnut! Thank you x
Hi Gemma I am going to have a go at this muffin for breaky in the morning
thankyou for all of your helpful tips and trick around baking
How can I make these recipes in oven?
I am a fairly new follower to your channel, and I’ve tried out some of your recipes (mainly the microwaveable snacks haha). I though I’d give this one a shot, my first problem was that the dough was too dry after adding the melted butter (I don’t have any vegetable oil). So I melted some more and it became wet enough for me to do the crater and add the egg in the middle. However, it wasn’t until I’ve already cooked it in the microwave that I realized I completely forgot to add the milk! That explains a lot of… Read more »
