Omelet Muffin

I was home the other day and my mom showed me these cute little omelet muffins she had made herself for breakfast. They are perfect for anyone who is on the go and needs to grab something fast for breakfast because you can make a bunch (9-12) at one time and then have them for the rest of the week. I tried one while I was home and they were delicious. I definitely recommend you try to make some of your own if you're one of those people who is always too busy to eat in the morning. My mom made her's with spinach, mozzarella cheese, garlic and onion, but just like an omelet you can put whatever you want in it. Oh and one more awesome thing about these: you can eat them hot or cold (depending on how much time you have and your preference) making them that much easier to prepare in the morning.

Ingredients
6 eggs
1 cup frozen spinach
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 milk (can be any percent you like)
2 cloves garlic - minced
1/4 small onion - minced
Olive oil
Pam
Salt
Pepper
Cupcake pans to bake in!


Here's how it's done
• Preheat oven to 375° and make sure spinach is defrosted before you start.
**Note: you can run the frozen spinach under hot water to defrost it quickly, just be sure to strain the excess water from it when you're done.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cheese, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Put 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Saute the garlic until it is softened, then add the onions and continue cooking until the onion is also soft.
• Add the spinach to the frying pan and cook until the spinach becomes wilted.
• Add spinach, garlic and onion mixture to egg mixture.
• Spray the cupcake tray with Pam.
**Note:You don't need those little paper cupcake wrappers, just spray the tray so your egg muffins don't stick.
• Pour mixture into cupcake tray. You should fill each about half way.
• Place tray into pre-heated oven and bake until your egg muffins turn a golden-brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

This is how my mom had them stored in the fridge.
Put paper towel on the plate & cling wrap over the plate.

I hope that everyone can find this recipe helpful for those mornings when you're trying to rush off to your class, internship or job, but you don't want to skip breakfast completely. Just like a lot of my other recipes, this one can be tweaked to your own unique tastes. So pick whatever cheese, vegetable or even meat that you love and combine them all into your little egg omelet muffins and enjoy :)
