• 30 g chopped onion

• 60 g chopped white mushrooms

How to make Muffin cup veggie omelets

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tray with oil.

2. Chop the vegetables and divide them evenly among the muffin cups.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper. Pour 30 ml of the egg mixture into each muffin cup, then top each with 5 g of goat cheese.

4. Bake the omelettes for 20 minutes, then allow them to rest in the tray for 5 minutes to help them stay together.

5. Feel free to use any cheese you prefer; both Cheddar and feta work well. For added spice, stir in a few dashes of your favourite hot sauce to the egg mixture. If you wish to include meat, crumble 2 cooked sausage patties and add them to the vegetables.

6. To save time in the morning, prepare the omelettes the night before. Fill the muffin cups with vegetables and whisk the eggs in a bowl, cover both with cling film, and place them in the fridge.

7. The next morning, give the eggs another quick whisk, pour them into the muffin cups, top with cheese, and place in the oven. This will take less than 5 minutes.

8. You can reheat these omelettes for the busiest mornings. Make and refrigerate them a few days in advance, then warm them in a 90°C oven while you get ready. They will need 20 minutes to heat but can be left in the oven to stay warm for up to an hour.
