1-minute Microwave Quiche in a Mug

How great is this?!  I'm not a morning person.  I make it work on time with only minutes to spare. So I'm always trying to think of easy and yummy ways to have breakfast at the office.  Knowing me, I'll leave the bread out of the recipe, but I'll try it once with bread...

Total time: 3 minutes
Prep time: 2 min
Cook time: 1 min
Yield: 1 serving
Level: Easy

Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
4 small grape tomatoes, halved
1/8 cup torn pieces of fresh bread
1 tablespoon grated cheese (e.g., cheddar cheese, mozzarella, etc.)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, plus more for garnish (e.g., green onions, Italian parsley, chives, etc.)

Directions:
In a microwavable mug, add egg, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper and whisk until thoroughly mixed and egg whites are completely broken up. Add halved grape tomatoes, torn bread, grated cheese, and chopped herbs on top of egg mixture, making sure ingredients are evenly dispersed and have not settled to bottom of mug. Ingredients will stay settled within the quiche mixture better if you do not whisk ingredients into egg mixture.

Place mug in microwave, and cook on high for 1 minute, just until egg is completely cooked and quiche is slightly puffed. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
