For a richer flavor, try using a blend of Italian cheeses. Asiago or Pecorino Romano would be excellent additions. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for added nutrients and flavor. Just be sure to chop them finely. If you prefer a firmer frittata, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds, checking frequently to avoid overcooking. This recipe is easily customizable to your liking. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and cheeses to create your signature microwave frittata! Ensure your mug is truly microwave safe. Some mugs with metallic accents can cause sparks.
