Directions

Rub the insides of two mugs with a little oil or butter. Now hand them over to the kids and invite them to add whatever ingredients they like until the mug is half-full. Cover the mug (I use a saucer or small plate) and heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
Now get the kids to crack an egg into their cup(s) and sprinkle over the cheese. They can then stir the lot with a fork. Microwave again for another 30–60 seconds.

Make it without a microwave:

The kids can assemble all the ingredients in a ramekin and then crack an egg over the top and sprinkle over some cheese. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes.

Make it for the lunchbox:

Make the muggins in a microwave-safe container and, once cooled, top with the lid.

Recipe Note

Are microwaves okay?

The science says they don’t kill nutrients any more than boiling. Indeed, some studies show

they retain more nutrients than other cooking methods. Nor do they radiate you. They use a

form of non-ionising radiation (it can’t directly break up atoms or molecules). Just stand back

a little (1 metre) when it’s in use to avoid the EMFs (electromagnetic fields) and don’t put

plastic in there. Use glass or ceramic containers instead.

Kids will love this take on a 2 minute Pizza! Plus, its budget-friendly and filling. Great for lunch or an after-school quick snack.
