Baked Mini-Omlettes

I am always looking for interesting egg recipes, as eggs are low in carbs and calories. My mother used to call eggs (and milk) perfect foods: both supply complete nutrition for babies (baby chickens and baby cows!)

The recipe for oven-baked omlettes contains both "perfect" foods! And it's really easy! Basically, it's this:

• Mix together 4 beaten eggs and 1/4 cup (75 ml) milk or half and half.
• Pour into 6 buttered muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 6 mini-omlettes

Important Note:
 Before baking the eggs and milk/cream mixture, you can add other ingredients to the omlettes, such as bits of bacon, ham or sausage; grated cheese (or small cheese pieces); pre-cooked veggies.

I added two tablespoons (30 ml) salsa to the eggs, then added cheese and chopped sausage to each mini-omlette. They were delicious!

Next time, I plan to try chopped fruit, such as pear or apple pieces, and maybe sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on top.
