Eggs aren’t just for Easter

Eggs are considered one of nature's most complete foods. They're filled with protein while free of carbs and sugar. Yet when it comes to whipping up healthy egg recipes, some folks fear the calories that come from the yolk and opt to use only the egg whites. Most nutritionists now agree that eating the whole egg is the best way to get the complete nutritional benefit.

If you want to eat a nutritious breakfast but don't want to deal with the hassle of washing a bunch of cooking pans, this ‘Eggs in a Mug’ recipe is perfect for you. It's for one serving, making it a great option for those weekday breakfasts when you just want to eat something and get out the door.

1 Tbsp chopped red bell pepper

1 green onion (scallion), sliced
