How To Bake Dunkin Omelet Bites

To make these convenient handheld omelets: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Blend the eggs, Monterey Jack, cottage cheese, and salt on low speed until the mixture is slightly thickened and free of lumps. If you don’t have a blender, try whisking everything together in a bowl. Although the texture will not be the same, the egg bites will still be delish.

  1. Lightly spray a mini-donut baking pan or silicone mold with oil. Even when using a non-stick pan, a light spritz of oil is necessary to prevent the eggs from sticking. A mini muffin pan is an acceptable substitute for a mini donut baking pan, but you should extend the cooking time by a minute or two to ensure the bites cook thoroughly.
  2. Set the mini donut baking pan on a cookie sheet and pour the omelet mixture to the top of each bold.
