Notes
When you prepare the pan, grease the muffin tins very well to help keep the omelette bites from sticking to the sides of the pan. You can do this with cooking spray or by brushing the pan with olive oil.
The center of the bites will be the last part to finish cooking, so wait until the center has just set and is no longer liquid before removing them from the oven.
These omelette bites keep well in the fridge in an airtight container for 4-5 days. You can also freeze them individually wrapped, and reheat them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
iI you don’t have feta on hand, you can swap out the feta for another sharp, grated cheese like sharp cheddar. If you have family members who don’t like spinach, try replacing it with chopped herbs.
This recipe is adaptable and flexible, so try mixing up the basic recipe with other add-ins.
