Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin molds.

Pro tip: Using silicone molds helps with easy removal and cleanup.

Prepare omelette mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Ensure the eggs are fully beaten for a consistent texture.

Fill the muffin tin

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Bake the omelette bites

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are lightly golden.

Pro tip: Insert a toothpick in the centre; it should come out clean when done.

Prepare the creamy salad

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, and dill. Toss with the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber until well coated.

Pro tip: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Serve the freshly baked omelette bites warm with a side of creamy salad.

Pro tip: Garnish with additional dill or green onions if desired.
