Pantry-Friendly Mini Omelets (microwave)

I've never been a breakfast-making type of person.  Probably because I'm not really a morning person.  Get up, eat.  Good enough.  Cereal, fruit, yogurt.  It's all ready to go without much time or effort.

I recently came across a few items that inspired me to try out a more protein-filled breakfast in keeping with my "without much time or effort" requirement.  So, of course, I wanted to see if I could make it pantry-friendly, too!

I'm honestly not a fan of scrambled eggs UNLESS they're served with enough other ingredients to hide the taste of the eggs.  So this vegetable-filled, pantry-friendly, microwave omelet is just the thing.  When you put pantry-friendly (dried) ingredients together with microwave cooking, it's super fast, too.  And that's just my thing, too.

I made this omelet using the Ceramic Egg Cooker from Pampered Chef, and I loved it!  If you don't have one, you can--aside from ordering one at that link--use a large ceramic mug or a cereal bowl.  They aren't covered like the Egg Cooker is, so I imagine cooking times would vary.

This recipe is a one-egg omelet for one.  Double it for a two-egg omelet if you like, and of course multiply it for however many people you want to feed.

PANTRY-FRIENDLY MINI OMELETS (MICROWAVE)

PREP TIME:  8 minutes
COOK TIME:  1-2 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 6 Tbsp. water
• 2 Tbsp. freeze-dried scrambled egg (That brand is the best I've tried.)
• dash salt
• 1 Tbsp. freeze-dried spinach
• 1 tsp. dried onion (I like the ultra small, thin dices of dried onion here, but you can buy dried minced onion at your local grocery store if you prefer.)
• 1 Tbsp. freeze-dried cheddar cheese (I like this brand; or you could use colby cheese available here.)
• 1 Tbsp. undrained diced tomatoes from a can

DIRECTIONS
Stir all ingredients together in a Ceramic Egg Cooker or a bowl (or large mug).  Let sit 5 minutes to partially hydrate the dried foods.  Stir again, then microwave 1 minute or 1 minute 10 seconds.  (If using a bowl or mug, cooking times will vary because they are not covered like the Ceramic Egg Cooker, so adjust cooking time as needed.)
