Author: April Swiger
Recipe type: Breakfast, Brunch, or a Main Dish
Serves: 9-12 individual omelets depending on your egg size
Ingredients
9 Eggs
¾ Cup ricotta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Garlic cloves, minced
2-3 Handfuls of spinach
Butter or oil to grease your pan and muffin tin
Parmesan to sprinkle on top
*Optional: mushrooms, peppers and onions, bacon, sausage, etc (basically anything you would put in your favorite omelet)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 F, and grease your muffin tin with your choice of butter or oil.
While the oven is heating up, mix in a large bowl the eggs, ricotta, and salt and pepper, until completely blended.
Spoon your egg mixture evenly into the muffin tins, and sprinkle with parmesan if desired. Fill them about ½-3/4 the way full. They will puff up in the oven!
Bake the omelets for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs have set in the middle.
Notes
These freeze really well! Store them in an airtight container, and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
