I have to be very careful with granola, as I'm allergic to nuts, and often the granola used has nuts of some sort, or isn't just "clean" granola.

- add salt & pepper to taste and whisk the eggs with a fork until yolk is mixed in, then microwave for 50 seconds on high
- remove promptly, give it a little stir and add small handful of shredded cheese (I use Trader Joe's gruyere & swiss mix); stir to mix in the cheese
- microwave for 45 seconds on high
- remove promptly and stir to mix in the cheese more
- microwave for 40 seconds
- remove and eat!

This method has gotten me to a texture that's much better than most "scrambled eggs in a mug" recipes I've tried. If you fill the mug with water as soon as you're done eating and leave it to soak, the cleanup later is not bad even without a dishwasher.
I think I will try this one of these mornings! Thanks!
