KETO Friendly Oven Baked Omelet "Muffins" (Gluten Free & VERY LOW CARB)

A trio of mini omelet muffins:
Sausage Marinara, Bacon Jalapeno
& Ham with Salsa.

Ingredients:
cooking oil spray (olive, coconut or avocado)
4 ounces fresh pork sausage (not in casing)
4 slices bacon
4 ounces ham, diced
4 teaspoons low carb marinara sauce
8 slices pickled jalapeno (cut in quarters)
4 teaspoons low carb salsa (red or green)
2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
1 ounce mozzarella cheese, shredded
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
sour cream (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
Crumble and cook the sausage. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside.
Cut the bacon into bite sized pieces. Fry until crispy. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside.
Divide the sausage evenly between 4 of the prepared muffin cups. Do the same with, the bacon and ham, in the remaining muffin cups.
Top each portion of sausage with one teaspoon of marinara sauce and 1/4 of the grated mozzarella cheese.

Top each portion of bacon with 1/4 of the chopped jalapeno. Top each portion of the ham with a teaspoon of salsa. Evenly divide the shredded cheddar cheese between the bacon and ham cups.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and black pepper. Divide the beaten eggs evenly between the 12 muffin cups, pouring over the meats and cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn the pan around and continue baking for another 8 minutes, or until set. (Be careful not to brown the tops, if you will be reheating the mini omelets.)

Serve immediately, or cool, before storing in an airtight container. If desired, garnish each mini omelet with a teaspoon of sour cream. These will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days. Reheat wrapped in foil, in the oven, or in a microwave oven, unwrapped, on a plate. 
Makes 12.


Notes: These little omelets are delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you do not want 3 different flavors, you can make all 12 with the same filling. If desired, you can make these ahead of time and freeze. Move a frozen omelet to the refrigerator the night before heating for breakfast.
