Well, my baking streak has not slowed down, in fact I think it has sped up! I have been baking more lately than ever. It seems to be more of a nesting thing to me now. I've been baking, cleaning, decorating and organizing like a mad woman. The cool thing about these two recipes is not only are they super easy to make and good for you, but they can both be made in larger batches and then frozen for easy on the go breakfast today, tomorrow or even next month, if needed!
The first recipe is mini omelettes. All you have to do is choose your toppings, some of my favorites are torn up pieces of precooked turkey sausage (I hate dealing with raw meat and this way you know it will be fully cooked and safe to eat), diced tomatoes and torn pieces of spinach. Place your toppings of choice evenly in each of the 12 WELL GREASED regular size muffin cups, then whisk together 12 eggs, a dash of milk and salt and pepper and pour evenly into each muffin cup over your toppings. Then I like to top each of mine with lots of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes.
The second recipe is mini pancake muffins, which can be made in regular or mini size muffin tins. Simply grease your muffin tin, follow this recipe and then use an ice-cream scoop to evenly scoop batter into each muffin cup. Then bake at 350 for 12-18 minutes depending on which size tins you are using, once they have risen and toothpick comes out clean they are done. I like to double this recipe if I am going to freeze some, otherwise it will just make enough for one family breakfast.
