Mini Western Omelettes Ready for the Week

Mini Western Omelettes

I’ve got a confession to make, I’m getting pretty tired of eating so many breakfast casseroles. I’ve been looking for something new that I could make for the week and I started to think about how to quickly make an omelette that would be both fast and last for the week.  What I came up with was a flat, baked omelette that could be made quickly using a muffin top pan!

Chicago Metallic Muffin Top Pan
Ahh, the muffin top pan. It took me weeks to find this beloved device but after I had it in my grasps, the most amazing thing happened, I created the Holy Grail Almond Buns! This is far and away the most popular recipe on the website. The curved yet right angled slop and flat bottom of this pan create the perfect keto bun.
Stainless Steel Prep Bowls
These little guys are perfect for pre-portioning ingredients. I use them for holding spices or in a dish where I incrementally add ingredients as I go. You can pre-chop some onions or peppers and store them for later. I even use them to store parts of a lunch I don’t want microwave like in my taco recipe!

GlassLock 17 Oz. Square Food Container
These are my new favorite food storage container! They are good for the refrigerator, microwave and freezer. Additionally, the gasket makes it so they never leak and the lids are super secure.
