To serve 4:

4 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
  salt and pepper
1 bagel
3 tablespoons cream cheese
2 slices prosciutto or cooked ham
  fresh thyme leaves or fresh chopped chives
  Dijon mustard

How to Cook Coffee Cup Quiche

  1. Beat the egg and milk together with a fork, adding salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Tear the bagel (you can use a similar amount of French bread if preferred) into dime-size pieces (¾" - 2cm). Stir these into the egg and milk mix, add the cream cheese and stir together. Spoon the mix equally into 4 large coffee cups then tear or cut the prosciutto (or cooked ham) into small pieces and sprinkle over the top.
  2. Microwave on high until done (for one single coffee cup, I usually find it takes a fraction over 1 minute. With 4 cups, it's closer to 2 minutes). Garnish with mustard and fresh thyme or chives.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If you're not a fan of creamed cheese, you can substitute mozzarella if you wish. Almost any light cheese will work.
