Bake these mini omelets when you have some free time and then either store them in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer if you would like to make a bunch in advance.  Just wrap them up individually and reheat in the oven or microwave as needed.  Serve the omelets with a slice of toast or an english muffin, you can even turn the mini omelets into quick egg sandwich!  Be sure to change it up and experiment with your favorite ingredients!

Ingredients:
1 cup chopped ham
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
10 large eggs, beaten
½  cup milk 
½ cup shredded cheese
As needed, cooking spray
To taste, salt & pepper

3. Spray a 12-cupcake/muffin pan with the cooking spray.
