Omelette Cups for Everyone's Taste Buds! -

Omelette cups are a great way to serve lots of snacks and meals. From 2-ingredient mini chicken pot pies to breakfast quiche cups, the possibilities are endless. Baking snacks and small meals with pie crust adds a light, buttery flavor and a fun way to present your dish. When you have a few kiddos with varying taste buds to please, whipping up omelette cups is an easy way to prepare one dish with different toppings.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

INGREDIENTS:

1 box Pillsbury Pie Crust
8 large eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheese
salt and pepper to taste
6 strips of bacon
4 tbsp milk

PREPARATION:

Let your pie crust sit out for roughly 10 minutes.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly flour your working surface and roll out your pie crust.
Cut out 5-6 inch circles of dough.
Gently press the dough into each cup of a lightly greased cupcake pan.
Place in oven a bake for 7 minutes.
Cook bacon to desired wellness, cool, and crumple.
Beat eggs, bacon, milk, and seasoning in a bowl and set aside.
When your pie crust has baked for 7 minutes, remove and fill each cup with egg mixture.
Return pan to oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with shredded cheese.
Return to oven and bake an additional 2 minutes to melt your cheese.
Remove pan and allow to cool before serving.

Cooking Omelette Cups with the Kids and Grandkids

Cooking with the kids, especially the littles, is a fun way to spend time together and offers opportunity to sneak in educational components too! 😉 When preparing your omelette cups, set up an omelette bar with an array of topping choices. You can easily whip up your egg mixture alone and add your toppings directly into the cups. It’s a great way to let the kids explore different flavors and try new combinations. Some of our favorite toppings include:

mushrooms
olives
onions
different cheeses
pepperoni
breakfast sausage
ham
lots and lots of bacon!

Egg Variations for Your Omelette Cups

Alternatively, you can scramble your egg mixture while your pie crust cups are baking. Once your crust is done, spoon in the desired amount of eggs into each cup and sprinkle with cheese. You can also crack an egg directly into your cup after the first 7 minutes of baking for an egg-only omelette cup. These are a tasty way to create an over easy or over medium egg within your pie crust.
