Quicky Salmon & Cream Cheese Eggs in a Mug

Cuisine: Seafood

This is one of my favorite breakfasts using salmon leftovers! It takes almost no time to make and puts a fun spin on your average eggs. I personally eat dairy, but if you don’t, the recipe is quite tasty without the cream cheese or milk.

Quicky Salmon & Cream Cheese Eggs in a Mug

I buy my salmon at Costco, so I usually cook the giant hunk of fish all at once. This leaves me with a ton of leftovers - and one of my favorite things to do it to throw the leftover salmon into scrambled eggs with some cream cheese!

Ingredients

3-4 oz salmon cooked
1-2 tbsp cream cheese
2 eggs
splash milk optional
pinch cracked pepper to taste
pinch sea salt to taste

Instructions

Crack the eggs into your mug, add a splash of milk (optional), a bit of salt and pepper, and whisk them up until they're somewhat homogenous. Forks work just as well as whisks here! Estimate how much salt/pepper to add based on how spiced your salmon is. We used chipotle salmon leftovers, so I only put in a pinch.
Put the mug with eggs in the microwave for 45 seconds - 1 minute.
In the mean time, use your fork to smush/cut the salmon until it looks nice and shredded. Once sufficiently smushed, mash the cream cheese into the salmon and mix it all together.
Take the eggs out of the microwave and stir them up with the fork. Some parts will be solid and some will still be liquid. Add your salmon-cream-cheese mix and stir it all together.
Put the mug back in the microwave for another minute.
Remove mug from microwave, stir your delicious breakfast around until it's a nice even scrambled eggs mix and enjoy!
NOTE: Microwaves vary in how they cook things, so you might need to add more time to step 5.
