This quick savory breakfast is packed with protein and easy to customize!
Many different cheeses, meats and vegetables can be used
for a different omelette every week.
Delicious combinations to try:
mushroom, spinach, feta
smoked salmon, dill, butter
onion, green pepper, mushroom
cooked potato, bacon, Colby-jack
roasted tomatoes, parmesan, garlic
The omelette jars will keep for 4 days in a cold refrigerator.
These can also be dumped into a hot oiled pan for quick cooking.
Make a bunch on Sunday for easy hot breakfasts all week!

Place 1/8-1/4 cup of each filling ingredient in each jar
This is where I create several different omelettes for my family’s needs and tastes.
Some have no cheese for the lactose sensitive and some have no peppers for the vegetable hater.
Add the Eggs

You'll need to experiment with this step to get your eggs exactly as you like.
In my microwave I cook the omelette jar like this:
1.microwave 30 seconds
2.stir well
3.microwave 30 seconds
4.stir well
5. microwave 30 seconds
6.cool a bit before eating
The jar is HOT!
I use the paper towel to remove the jar from the microwave for stirring......
you could use oven mitts for better protection
Enjoy a hot high protein breakfast every morning!
