Notes

Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and cheeses to find your favorite combination. Pre-cooking watery vegetables like mushrooms and tomatoes can help achieve a better texture. Consider meal prepping by preparing the raw ingredients in advance to save time in the morning. You can easily double the recipe for a larger serving by using a bigger mug that can accommodate the extra volume.
