• Place 3 thick slices of bread in oven on the rack for about 4 minutes. Just long enough for the bread to get toasted. Upon removing bread from the oven, cut each piece of bread into 4 pieces. Place one piece of toasted bread in each tin.
• In a skillet, saute 2T. butter with onion until onion is soft and browned.
• In medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, dry mustard, and pepper; set aside.

EASY BAKED MINI-OMELETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 and spray cupcake pan with vegetable spray.
• Whisk the eggs, milk or cream, oil, baking powder and salt and pepper together until smooth.
• Divide meat and vegetables evenly between the 12 greased cupcake wells; top with a little cheese. Pour enough egg mixture in each well to come to the top.
• Bake in preheated 375 oven for 15-20 minutes (my oven took 22 minutes). During this time, they will REALLY dome up like a real cupcake, but they will flatten back down as they cool.
• Remove from oven and garnish with a pinch of cheese (I topped them with cheddar). Let the mini-omelets rest in the pan for 5 minutes before you take them out (they will easily lift out after 5 minutes).
