Directions

1. 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.

2. 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:

1. 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:

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