It took over 30 years, but I finally caved in and became a weekday breakfast lover. For years I relied on black coffee to fuel me through my mornings, until one day I decided to put my mug to a different use. After seeing a few breakfast-in-a-mug recipes floating around the web, I decided to finally try one — and my morning routine has never been the same.
