Hi and welcome to Steve's Kitchen. I'm feeling particularly lazy today so I'm doing mug
meals all throughout the day that's breakfast lunch and dinner but they're
not going to be boring. We're going to start off with bacon and eggs on toast I kid you
not
bacon and eggs on toast all in a mug come on let me show you how
Now this meal works best
with a slightly oversized mug. Come down here and I know this is naughty but we
are going to trim our crusts off because I want it about as round as the cup is but
very roughly, so just take off the corners I'm just going to nibble away at the
crusts to get a sort of semi round piece of bread. Now I want you too lightly
butter the bread on both sides, we're just going to turn that over and do the back
as well. Then you lift your bread and pop it into the bottom of your cup and just
push it against the sides. I've a piece of bacon here, the middle and I'm just going
to cut it into slices and if you like this fatty bacon at the end here, keep it in it
does add a lot of flavor. Take your bacon and pop it on top of your bread like
so, that's what you're looking for
that's going to go in the microwave and the oils from the bacon are going to penetrate into
the bread and turn it into a lovely crisp toast. Now I've done that for a minute on full
power, thats about 1,000 watt microwave and if you just come in here you'll see the
bacon has started to cook, another 30 seconds and that'll crisp up a little bit.
So after 2 minutes you can start to see the bacon has crisped up, next we're going to take our
egg we'll just break that on the side and just break your egg over the top of
your bacon. Now I like my egg still to be runnny so I'm going to do 30 seconds, if you like a firmer egg
just a little bit longer but not much
Now look at that the yolks beautifully runny, the white is still a little bit
soft, Now you can eat that straight from the mug but I'm just want to show
you something, I'm going to pop this out onto a plate so you can see and yes I know my
whites a little bit runny that's the way I like it if you don't just cook it for
an extra ten seconds
Now if I slice through that you would be surprised that the bread is lovely and
toasty you see we've even got toast underneath. Now let me give this a try
bacon and eggs on toast in a mug so delicious, really trust me
Now I love my bacon and eggs and I can't get over how great that is in a mug
crispy bread so delicious now join me a little bit later on we're going to have a
spot of lunch see you back here then
So we started the day with a fried breakfast. I want a lighter lunch so I'm going to
make a quiche, a lovely quiche, in a simple mug like this. I am going to make my own bottom. Cheeky!
Now come down here, now it really is very simple, just going to take a couple of
tablespoons of all-purpose flour, approximately a tablespoon of butter we
want to season this with a little bit of salt and this is optional but I like
a little pepper in there as well and then just get your hands in there, just sort of rub
the flour and butter together so you're looking for this loose sort of bread crumb
take your glass and we just drop what is basically a short crust pastry into
the glass then I'm just going to pack it firmly down. So that's our little quiche
base we're going to make the topping. So either in another cup or a little bowl
just take one egg, a tablespoon of thick cream now I'm not going to salt this but I am going to put black pepper in there and
then I just want to whisk this together to get a nice even mixture, that looks about
perfect now we've got about thirty grams or an ounce of cheese it just needs to
be cut up into some small cubes just drop that in there with the egg and a little
bit of ham I'm not really certain you can be flexible how much you want and just
going to again cut this into strips and then small cubes just drop that in with the
egg and a little bit of spring onions or scallions and I just want to slice it get
a little bit of the green in there as well
Now if you wanted to you could add anything to this quiche at all, a little bit of red
pepper, some chili if you want. Here is my cup pour that in on top of my pastry base so
I've got that just about a little over halfway into the microwave this will only take one
minute and it will be perfectly cooked. Now that puffs up really high, actually when I took that out of the microwave it started to drop back down just going to
take some spring onions pop that over the top there you have it
quiche in a mug and I'm going to give this a try now I know this tastes good I've had it
many times before
let's dig in. Now I want to get right the way down to get some of that pastry
as well. We're just going to pull that up altogether that's perfectly cooked with
stringy cheese in there as well you can see the steam coming off that still a
little bit hot here goes I should add a warning that is super hot and that will burn your
tongue as it almost did mine but my that is really really delicious I'm going in
for another piece. It's cheesy its well-seasoned the base is fantastic so
that is our quiche that's our lunch sorted out. Let's get on with the day and I'll
see you back here for a lovely dinner
So the evening's drawing in and it's time for dinner but Steve we don't want
any more eggs
can't we just order in a pizza. Well we can but we can make it in a mug we're
going to use this oversized mug again just come down here and I'll show you how we
make, this ones going to be a Margarita Pizza. To start with just 4 tablespoons of all purpose
flour into the bottom of our mug ,season it with a little salt and to help the pizza
dough rise I'm just going to put a quarter of a teaspoon of baking powder in there
now three tablespoons of milk and a tablespoon of the lightest olive oil that
you can find. Now get a fork in there and just start to mix this together into a nice
Pizza dough. Now develop a nice elastic texture like that won't take a few
seconds. Now we want our pizza dough to be fairly flat, so a tiny bit of oil on a
plate
take a spoon, the back of a spoon get some oil on there and just level that
pizza dough down. The trick to a good pizza in a mug is a little bit of
herbs a little bit of Oregano perhaps. So that is the pizza dough now let's
take a tomato or a pasta sauce this one's got a little bit of onion and
garlic in it just want to pour that over the top
about a spoon and a half. Don't go too heavy and we just level that out and because
I'm doing a simple margarita I'm just going to take a couple of rounds of
mozzarella and just lay them across the top now I'm keeping this simple I'm
going to decorate it with a little bit of Basil. Now this is super quick just a
minute twenty in my microwave , thats about 1000 watt and it'll be ready. Now come and take
a look at this how beautiful is that just like a proper margarita pizza. Now
is the pizza dough actually cooked like it should be I reckon so. So the last meal
of the day
pizza in a mug. Let's give this a try now see how beautiful and light that pizza dough is
I'll just show you its crumbly
it's got a lovely wonderful stringy mozzarella, just winding that up just break that off of
there. A little bit extra of the sauce and here goes
that's just amazing it tastes just like Pizza, it's fantastic a little bit of fun to
end this day off
