Homemade Egg McMuffin?!

This is a fast, easy breakfast item that I make for Trent before he leaves for work sometimes.
I guess you could call it a homemade Egg McMuffin of sorts?? I can't remember where I learned this trick, but microwaving an egg in the bottom of a coffee mug makes it set where it is easy to put on toast or whatever. Anyway, it's so easy I've never had a recipe, so I hope my instructions make sense.

Ingredients:
1 egg
a little milk
salt/pepper
1 piece bread (or bagel or english muffin)
cheese-sliced or shredded
tabasco sauce or hot sauce--optional

Steps:
1. crack an egg open into a coffee mug--add in a splash of milk (not too much or the egg will be runny)
2. use a fork or a small whisk and stir it up
3. add a little salt/pepper
4. microwave the egg in the mug for approximately 2 min. (may vary)--I always microwave it on level 5--not on full power; this keeps the egg from splattering
5. while microwaving the egg, toast the bread, bagel or Eng. muffin
6. When it looks like the egg has been set, dump it out on top of the toast, add a little cheese or hot sauce, etc.
