3 Years Old

IMG_2268Blog

Three years ago, on April 29, 2008 to be exact, I made these omelet muffins.

I’ve been considering them for dinners ever since and have no idea why they haven’t actually made it to my plate because they are DAlicious!

Super super easy too – just mix a batter of eggs, whole wheat flour, cottage cheese, flax plus mix-ins of your choice [smoked salmon + dill for me!] and bake.

IMG_2260Blog

IMG_2261Blog

Transportable. Easily reheated. Morphable. Nutritious!

IMG_2265Blog

The smoked salmon adds tons of flavor, but you could make these with all kinds of flavors: nuts, cheeses, bacon, veggies…

BitesBlog

While the muffins baked, I sautéed some green beans in lemon juice, dill and dijon mustard.

IMG_2271Blog

And toasted a Honey Whole Wheat roll – filled with a pat of butter

IMG_2272Blog

See that empty seat 🙁 Matt found a rain leak at the bakery and was a little late coming home. But at least when he arrived dinner was waiting for him.

IMG_2267Blog

He brought a surprise for me too – a slice of Chocolate Peppermint Oh! This MAY be even better than the Pumpkin Oh thanks to the crunch of peppermint pieces…mmmm!

IMG_2277Blog

I hear Lord of the Rings music playing – I think Return of the King is on [we never finished it].

LOTR or Hunger Games…hmmmm…

    And I love that with blogs, you can go back in time and determine EXACTLY when you posted something…and boy, these look…perfect. My hubs would do anything for me I’m thinking if I made him those. TOTALLY right up his alley!

    Quick question, texturally what are these muffins like? I know the recipe has omelette in the title but was just curious. Since there are no leveners in them I would imagine they wouldn’t be quite as airy as a traditional muffin but was curious if they were closer to the texture of a muffin or an omelette.

      They’re very similar to a well-cooked omelet – possibly a tiny bit spongier?

    Yep, definitely have a variation of these in the oven right now. 🙂 I used more egg and organic cheddar instead of cottage cheese (we don’t like cottage cheese). I also used soy flour instead of whole wheat (gluten free here, and not allowed to have grains in the morning per naturopath instructions), and more flax meal. And no salmon because I don’t have any. But I did have dill so that went in there too! They smell really good! I’ve been wanting to find more quick, creative, high-protein breakfast options that don’t depend on meat. 🙂

    Oh! And I made a version of that chocolate peppermint log the other day! My friends called it a giant swiss roll, but so much better. 😉 I was surprised to find that many of those roll-type desserts (including the one I made) are flourless! Hurrah for me!
