Breakfast Yums: Pesto Omelet Cups
Eggs are a daily thing around here. Lately, we've been on a breakfast sandwich kick which has been a tasty break from the norm. When recently coming up with brunch ideas for the season, I remembered an old favorite. Basically, omelets made in muffin tins. Yum. For a fresh kick of flavor, I made these easy Pesto Omelet Cups.
To make the best egg dishes, I've been buying Eggland's Best for years. There's something about those beautiful white eggs with the official stamp of approval that helps me feel good about whipping up breakfast.
More than that, their eggs have a long list of added benefits like more vitamin D, Omega-3s, vitamin E and vitamin B12 than ordinary eggs. Plus with 25% less saturated fat, there are plenty of reasons to love them.
To whip up these simple Pesto Omelet Cups, you only need a handful of simple ingredients and of course, a muffin tin.
The beauty of this simple recipe is that you can customize it so easily.
Swap out and add any veggies you like. It's almost guaranteed to be perfect.
Just don't fill the muffin tin too high because the eggs do puff up a bit during the baking process.
These bake up pretty quick, so you'll have an amazing breakfast in under 20 minutes. That's a win.
Pesto Omelet Cups
Ingredients
- 10 Medium Eggs
