I love brunches because it's an excuse to get together with friends during the day (but not too early!) and feast! The other weekend, our friends invited us and Kili to their flat. Kili loves visiting new places, and of course our friends spoil her (as always) with new toys and treats. She ran around their patio and flat, exploring every corner and nook and tiring herself out. And while she was busy doing that, we were busy being spoiled by a delicious brunch our friends had planned.

The menu that day was to make our own baked omelette muffins. Our friends made the egg mixture and buttered all the muffin tins. We then had task of filling our own muffin cup omelettes with our favorite toppings.

They had put out such a spread of toppings that it filled their entire worktop with various bowls, plates, pans, and skillets. In true buffet-style, we each went down the line, and filled our baked omelette muffins with our choice of toppings:

bacon
sausages
mushrooms
spinach
rocket
cheddar cheese
parmesan cheese
feta cheese
smoked salmon
dill
red chiles
green chiles
Mexican spice blend

Baked omelette can be made as a casserole, or in individual ramekins

I’ve made a variation of the baked omelette muffins here, and instead of using muffin cups, I’ve poured the egg mixture into a small casserole, and into two cocottes. The baked omelette in the casserole dish can be sliced and served with fork and knife, while the baked omelettes in the cocotte can be simply enjoyed with a spoon.

This recipe is very flexible, so feel free to swap the toppings with other toppings of your choice. Just make sure any raw meat toppings are fully cooked before you put them in the omelette (ie. use fully cooked bacon, sausage and chorizo). If you'll be using vegetables as fillings for your baked omelette, it may also be helpful to cook them first since some vegetables tend to release a lot of water as they cook.
