Fun Anniversary Breakfast

On my husband and my anniversary, I decided to get a little creative in the kitchen.  I like playing around with food in muffin tins ever since I made omelets for a group of friends who were visiting for a weekend.  I got hooked on the idea of individual portions and mass production of delicious food.

Here's my original attempt at omelets - my inspiration for my anniversary breakfast.

I experimented with various ingredient layering patterns and egg cooking techniques.  I included spinach, red peppers, and cheese in this batch.  A few of these have a small piece of bread/toast on the bottom.  I preferred the scrambled version to the over hard version.  It's so simple though!  Just spray the muffin tin(s) and layer your ingredients!  I was cautious and cooked these for 25 minutes, but I'm sure they could have been done a little sooner.  The next time I made these I used hash browns on the bottom.  Yum!

So back to the anniversary breakfast.  Here's what brought a smile to my husband's face when we sat down for breakfast (try not to smile):





Isn't it cute?!

These are strawberry pancakes (in muffin tins) and scrambled eggs with spinach and onions.  You could use a variety of different pancake flavors if you choose to experiment. I have since tried blueberry pancakes and really enjoyed them!  Again super easy to make.  These took about 15 minutes. 

I always like to have fun with breakfast food!  It helps me become a little (very little) more of a morning person.  :-)
