Ingredients:

Bell pepper, diced 1 each 1 each
Tomato, diced ¾ cup 187 mL
Onion, diced ½ cup 125 mL
Spinach, diced 1 cup 250 mL
Olive oil 1 Tbsp 15 mL
Sun dried tomato, finely diced (optional) 1 Tbsp 15 mL
Eggs 10 each 10 each
1% Milk ¾ cup 187 mL
Paprika ½ tsp 2.5 mL
Chili powder ½ tsp 2.5 mL
Salt ¼ tsp 2 mL
Pepper ¼ tsp 2 mL
Lean sliced turkey (optional) ¼ cup 100 g
Shredded cheese ½ cup 250 mL

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the bell pepper, tomato, onion, and spinach in the olive oil.
  3. Spread veggies onto a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. *This is optional, but helps evaporate some of the water from the veggies so there is less water coming off the omelettes when reheating.
  4. Change the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  5. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the milk, paprika, chili, salt, and pepper. Using a whisk, mix until the yolks are well incorporated into the whites.
  6. Grease 12 muffin cups. Divide the veggies, sundried tomatoes and turkey (if using) between the 12 cups.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into each of the 12 cups and top with shredded cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until omelettes are cooked through.
  9. Freeze in an air-tight container and reheat in the microwave on high for quick breakfasts.
