Omelettes are a great part of any breakfast, but when you make these Denver omelettes in a cup, you have a special treat!
Ingredients:
– 5 teaspoons unsalted butter
– 4 cups (1 pound) frozen hash browns, thawed
– 6 large eggs
– 2 large egg whites
– Coarse salt and ground pepper
– 1/2 small red onion, diced small
– 1 small red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced small
– 4 ounces ham steak
– 3 ounces cheddar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Coat 6 nonstick jumbo muffin cups with 1/2 teaspoon butter. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 teaspoons butter. Add hash browns and 2 egg whites; season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Place 1/2 cup mixture into each muffin cup, firmly pressing into bottom and up side of each cup. Bake 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small nonstick skillet, melt 1/2 teaspoon butter over medium. Add red onion, bell pepper, and ham steak. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide vegetable mixture evenly among cups and top with cheddar. Bake 2 minutes. Remove from oven and crack 1 egg into each cup. Season with salt and pepper and bake until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 8 to 10 minutes. With a small offset spatula, remove cups from pan and serve immediately.
