These tasty mini omelets are not only super easy to make, but they are very tasty at room temperature AND they reheat very well in the microwave.
EASY BAKED MINI-OMELETS (makes 12)
1/2 pound of breakfast meat cooked and drained (ham, bacon or sausage)
1 cup favorite veggies, sauteed (optional)
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (or cream if you're feeling self-indulgent)
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (depending on how salty your meat is)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375° and spray cupcake pan with vegetable spray.
Whisk the eggs, milk, oil, baking powder and salt and pepper together until smooth.
Divide meat and vegetables evenly between the 12 greased cupcake wells; top with a pinch of cheese. Next, pour in enough egg mixture to come very close to the top of the cupcake well.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes (my electric oven takes 22 minutes exactly). During this time, they will really DOME UP like a cupcake, but after you take them out of the oven, they will slowly flatten back down as they cool.
Remove from oven and garnish with another pinch of cheese (I use a little sharp cheddar). Let the mini-omelets rest in the pan for 5 minutes before you take them out (they will easily lift out of the pan after 5 minutes).
NOTE: Use your imagination regarding veggies you want to use in this recipe (ham? bacon? chopped mushrooms?) just remember the veggies have to be pre-cooked.
ENJOY !!!
