They may look like mini quiches, but Mushroom Omelet Bread Cups are a much healthier alternative. Instead of pie crust, there’s bread and instead of cream, there’s cottage cheese. To makes these omelet bread cups even healthier, they’re baked with egg whites.

Whether you’re hosting an afternoon party or you’re making brunch for the family, this simple and healthy meal is sure to impress. Each cup is filled with bread, veggies, eggs and cheese. When you bake everything together in the oven, the bread cups crisp up like toast, the eggs are soft and creamy and the omelet fillings are perfectly flavoured. Together, Mushroom Omelet Bread Cups taste like a dreamy breakfast treat.

Mushroom Omelet Bread Cups may look fancy, but they’re really simple to make. Simply sauté your favourite omelet toppings. Since mushroom omelets are my favourite, I sauté mushrooms and roasted red peppers. Feel free to customize these mini omelets with your favourite toppings. You’ll want a total of 1/2 to 3/4 cup of omelet toppings for your six bread cups. You can choose any veggie or meat. Make it to your taste.

Next, combine egg whites and cottage cheese in a food processor. The cottage cheese adds a rich, cream-like flavour for the eggs. It also makes the Mushroom Omelet Bread Cups even cheesier. Yum!

Finally, choose your favourite bread and remove the crust. I use light rye bread – it’s healthier than white bread and has a light, pleasing flavour. Carefully press the bread into a muffin tin. Fill the bread cups with your omelet toppings, shredded cheese and the egg mixture. Bake for 20 minutes and you have a perfect brunch meal.
