2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese or shredded cheese of choice
1 tbsp finely diced yellow onion
1 tbsp finely diced green bell pepper
2 tbsp refrigerated shredded hash browns
1 large egg
salt & pepper to taste

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Spray a non stick microwave safe bowl with non stick cooking spray.
Add the ham, cheese, onion, salt & pepper, potatoes, and egg to the bowl. Using a fork gently stir this mixture together until evenly combined.
2 tbsp diced ham, 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tbsp finely diced yellow onion, 1 tbsp finely diced green bell pepper, 2 tbsp refrigerated shredded hash browns, 1 large egg
Microwave the bowl for 1 minute. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave. Stir, then microwave for another 30-45 seconds- just until the egg is set and cooked through.
Carefully remove the HOT bowl from the microwave and let it rest until it's cooled enough to enjoy.

Notes

You can use 2 small eggs instead of a single large egg. However, you'll need to almost double the cook time.
Be very careful when you take the bowl out from the microwave. It will be extremely HOT.
You can substitute other toppings for the ham like crumbled bacon or even skip the meat and use chopped up mushrooms instead.
