Omelet Muffins





Jennifer S.

Makes 12 regular muffins or 6 large
 






Ingredients:
– 6 Large Eggs
– 1/4 Cup of Milk
– 1/2 teaspoon of Vegetable Oil
– Salt & Pepper (I use ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper)
– 3/4 - 1 Cup Grated Cheese (Your choice, I used Cheddar Jack)
– Favorite Omelet fillings (Your choice, I used onions, bell peppers, cooked quinoa, and Breakfast meats like ham, sausage, bacon, or left over steak)

–Baking spray
Instructions:
– Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
– Dice up onions, peppers, and breakfast meats. I use the frozen peppers and onions mix. And cook quinoa according to box directions.
– Spray a 6 count muffin tin with baking spray. (Or 12 count for smaller muffins)
– Fill each muffin cup with cooked omelet ingredients.
– Top with shredded cheese.
– Mix egg, milk, oil, and salt & pepper in a bowl or measuring cup.
– Pour egg mixture in each muffin cup. You should fill each about 3/4 of the way to the top.
– Put in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
– Take out of oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving or cooling for storing.


I whip up double batches of the above recipe using my 6 count muffin tin.
I put them in a plastic zipper bags, store them in the freezer, and enjoy throughout the week. These taste just as delicious the next day. 
I like them heated up in the microwave for 45-60 seconds (thawed overnight in the fridge).
