Here Is The Recipe To My Morning Breakfast

I know that we need protein and that eggs are easy to digest.  I have never been a big egg fan and can’t have them raw or under cooked (food allergy).  So my go to is omelets and scrambled eggs, only if I make them.  Omelets are great to use up leftovers, but I don’t want to do this every morning!

This lazy cook then came up with a great idea!!  Make an omelet in a cup cake pan.  How easy is that?  Then I would have 12 or 24 to get my by.   Here it is…

Muffin Pan Omelets (12)

Preheat to 375^F

• 12 Large Eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (soy, cow, goat or even water) -optional to make mix go further
• 2 cups of filling
• 2 cups of shredded cheese (or more filling)
• 1 tsp salt or seasoning salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper

Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper together.  Set aside.  Chop up the filling of your choice and grade the cheese (if using).  Coat the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.  Place filling (including cheese) 1/2 – 3/4 full in each muffin section.  Then pour the egg mixture into each muffin section – to the top.  I use a 1/3 dry cup measuring cup as a ladle.   Bake 25 – 30 minutes.  The tops will be slightly brown and the centers will be set and fully cooked.

While baking the mini omelets will puff up, but do not worry, they will settle back down when you pull them out of the oven.  As long as you to go the rim of the pan or slightly under, you oven will be fine!

NOTE:  Make sure you let them cool completely in the muffin tins.  Do not rush to take them out.  If you do they will deflate even more.

TIP:  Once cooled, pop them into a zip lock gallon size freezer bag.  When you want one, simply microwave for 30 – 45 seconds.

FILLING IDEAS:  If you can tolerate salsa, this is great as a filling too!  Shredded chicken is wonderful as well.  Even hashbrowns or potatoes in the bottom are good.  Left over deli ham, turkey, chicken all do well.  Why not freeze the small amount of deli meat the family is not going to eat and then have it on hand to do a batch of omelet muffins?!  Don’t be afraid to play around with ingredients.

Also, since you have the oven going … make 2 batches!

ENJOY!!
