So I'm on a mission...to find different, easy foods to cook in advance so that Kollin has a quick breakfast to take with him in the morning. A few on the list: freezable scones, freezable breakfast burritos, freezable egg sandwiches. Here is the first one. After a bit of comparing recipes, this is my variation, so I can really call it MY recipe! :D
It makes 12 'mini omlettes', so at 3 per day, that covers 4 days. Not too bad for 45 minutes of cooking on Sunday! (unless I want some, then I'd better make more!) Next week I'm going to make em and try freezing them. Some people say to NEVER freeze eggs, others say they can freeze if there is no moisture...meaning the eggs need to be well cooked. We'll see how they turn out after being frozen. If they turn out well, I can see making a huge batch with a Costco size pack of eggs and having them available for a few weeks! Nice and easy breakfasts in the morning.
Easy Mini-Omlettes
Regular muffin tin pan
Cooking Spray
12 eggs
Shredded cheese
Any other filling you have on hand (spinach, bell peppers, jalepeno peppers, cooked ham, cooked bacon, broccoli, chopped onion, chopped tomato, mushrooms…)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin well with cooking spray, or it will be harder to pull them out after their cooked.
2. Crack eggs into bowl and scramble well. Add desired amount of cheese.
3. Layer bottom of muffin tin with fillings.
4. Slowly pour in egg and cheese mixture into muffin tins. Evenly distribute between each cup.
5. Using the fork or spoon you scrambled the egg and cheese mixture with, gently mix around each omlette so that the fillings are not just on the bottom.
6. Bake! In your 350 degree oven for about 20 or 30 minutes or until a knife inserted, comes out clean. Let them cool completely, they'll come out of the tin easier that way. Store in fridge in gallon sized Ziploc bag or Tupperware.
To use, just grab desired number of mini omlettes and warm up in microwave for about a minute (about 15 seconds per omeltte.) top with a bit of hot sauce, ketchup or leave plain.
