Omelet Muffins

These individual omelet muffins mean everyone 
can have their favorite omelet fillings, and they
are all ready at the same time.
Omelet making just got easier!
 I had onion, green paper, ham, tomato,
 spinach and cheese. Use whatever you have,
leftover vegetables are good.
 First I sautéed the ham and raw vegetables 
 in a little butter until tender.
 Meanwhile I whisk the eggs.
Add the seasonings and a pinch of
baking powder. That makes them puff.
I add the tomatoes and spinach last. Stirring until
the spinach wilts. I let them cool a bit. I have extra
filling here for an omelet later in the week.
My kitchen assistant and taster 
Sofie is close by...as always. 
 Spray a muffin tin and add a spoonful of
filling to the bottom.
 Top with cheese.
 Pour the eggs on top, filling almost full.
Bake in a 375º oven for 15 minutes.
This is a good time to make whatever else
 you are serving like fruit and coffee. I love 
breakfast recipes that don't need my
constant attention.
 Bake until puffed and golden.
Aren't these the cutest?!
 Remove to a warm plate.
 Leftovers can be reheated the next day
in the oven or microwave

Garlic Butter Salmon in Parchment Packets

Here's another great way to make salmon.
These little salmon bundles are a nice presentation
 for dinner. They make the most tender moist 
salmon and then there's the garlic butter.
That's should be enough to try them. 
You can make just one for yourself, or make
 two or twenty. Plus you can even prep them
 ahead of time so they're all ready to pop 
in the oven whenever you plan to eat. 
Cut the salmon into individual pieces.
 You want one salmon filet per packet. 
Melt the butter in a bowl and add the
garlic, parmesan, lemon, and herbs. 
 Slice the length of the zucchini, then
into half moons. Place in the center of
a square of parchment paper. Drizzle
with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with
kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper
 Lay the salmon filets on top, season again
to taste and spread with the garlic
butter mixture.
 Fold over the sides of the parchment
and the ends tightly.
 Bake in a sheet @375º for 15 minutes.
 Plate and open carefully.
 Garnish with parsley and Parmesan if desired.
