Breakfast Ideas: Muffin-Tin Omelets with Feta & Peppers
Serving size: 2 omelets
Per Serving: 226 calories; 12.7g protein; 6.7g carbohydrates; 1.3g dietary fiber; 3.7g sugar; 16.7g fat
What you'll need:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¾ cup diced onion
¼ teaspoon salt
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
8 large eggs
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup low-fat milk
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
How to do it:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and half of the salt; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and oregano; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Whisk eggs, feta, milk, black pepper and the remaining salt in a large bowl. Stir in spinach, olives and the cooked vegetable mixture. Divide among the prepared muffin cups.
4. Bake until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
Wrapped individually in plastic wrap, the cooked omelets can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw, if necessary, and remove plastic wrap. Wrap in a paper towel and microwave each omelet on High for 20 to 30 seconds.
