Day 17 - Omelet Muffins

Omelet Muffins

Here is one of the items Karen made and shared with Patrice, S'rae and I for the week.  She made up these muffins and gave us each a dozen to eat throughout the week.  Yumm.  I warmed mine up in the microwave and served with a grapefruit.  Perfect breakfast.  I was satisfied all morning even through my workout.  Thanks Karen!

Omelet Muffins

• 1lb ground meat (turkey, chicken, sausage or combo) or bacon or ham
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• 1 cup chopped bell peppers
• 1 cup chopped sweet onion
• handful of fresh spinach, chopped
• 18 eggs (or more if needed)

In a medium skillet, brown meat; adding peppers and onions about half way through.  Add seasonings.  Gently stir in spinach.  Spray muffin tins generously with olive oil non-stick spray.  Divide meat mixture evenly between all 24 muffin holes.  In a separate bowl, beat eggs.  pour eggs over meat mixture, dividing equally among all 24 muffins.  Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until muffins are set in the middle.  Remove from oven and let sit in pan for 5 minutes.  Using a small rubber scraper, carefully remove each muffin to cool completely on wire rack.  

When cooled, place in Ziploc bag and store in refrigerator.  To heat, place muffin(s) on plate and microwave about 30 seconds.
