Omelette Muffins – recipe yields 6-8 muffins

This is a super easy recipe with the majority of the work being in your preparation. I chose bacon, spinach and red peppers for the filling in this recipe, but you can substitute almost any meat and vegetables, another great filling option is steamed kale and caramelized onions. Once your muffins are cooked and cooled they can be stored in an air tight container in your fridge for 3-4 days making them great for a quick snack in the middle of the day or a grab and go breakfast in the morning.

Equipment needed:

1 non stick muffin pan 1 medium mixing bowl Small baking sheet Whisk

Cooling rack
Coconut oil, or non stick spray

Method:

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees
After you steam your spinach let it cool and then squeeze out the majority of the moisture into the sink
While your oven is preheating and the spinach is cooling bake the strips of bacon on the baking sheet until crisp Whisk eggs in the mixing bowl

Grease your muffin tin with either a small amount of coconut oil of non stick spray and then place a small amount of each ingredient into each cup

Once all the ingredients are in the cups pour the whisked eggs over the filling evenly

Once the oven is totally preheated put the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins are lightly brown around the edges and are firm to the touch.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes and then pop out the muffins and cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
