    They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Often “grab and go” is the only way you have time to eat it.

    Make ahead options work well. Have you tried baked breakfast donuts? YES, you can eat donuts for breakfast, especially donuts that are packed with nutrition.

    Add these mini frittatas to your rotation. Having them ready in the freezer makes it easy and convenient.

    On the weekends, Bacon & Egg Breakfast Biscuits are a hit. A close second is Smoked Salmon Egg in a Hole. Top of the list is bacon and eggs on the bbq!!

    Life is so busy, there are never enough hours in the day it seems to get everything done. Cooking nutritious meals can be a challenge.

    Eggs are so nutritious, we enjoy them ALL day long. I always have hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for a quick snack. 

    We love having BREAKFAST FOR DINNER.  Poached Eggs & Lentil Hash is a favourite around here.

    Egg Muffin Ingredients

    Everything you would use for a classic omelette: 

    • eggs
    • milk or cream
    • cheese (any flavour)
    • onions
    • peppers
    • bacon
    • sausage (any flavour)
    • chicken (cooked)
    • seasonings 
    • fresh or dried herbs

    Egg muffins are easy to make. They resemble a crustless quiche. The perfect freezer muffin tin omelette.

    Have you tried Egg Tacos? Perfect for lunch or dinner. Even the leftovers are great cold. Just like an upscale egg salad sandwich…but better!

    Best Way To Make An Omelette

    In my opinion, the classic French method is king. Did you see the movie (affiliate)*The Hundred-Foot Journey with Helen Mirren? One of my favourite movies by far. You will know what I am talking about when you watch it. 

    If I am just cooking an omelette for 1 or 2 people, I will use the classic method. However, if I am cooking for a crowd, these egg muffin baked omelettes are the way to go. 

    I like to use (affiliate)*non-stick muffin tins for this recipe. I would recommend using some cooking spray as well, as they tend to stick otherwise. You can also use (affiliate)*silicone muffin tins.

    How To Bake Egg Muffin Cups

    1. Get your pans ready.
    2. Preheat your oven.
    3. Fry the sausage in a skillet. You can drain any excess fat from the pan.
    4. Add some chopped onion and peppers.
    5. Once that is cooked, set it aside.
    6. In a measuring cup crack some eggs and whisk. Add some milk (or even cream) if you like, totally up to you.
    7. Depending on the size of tin you use (mine was a 12 cup), add about ¼ cup meat mixture to each cup.
    8. Top with cheese, pour in some egg mixture, and bake.

    These egg muffin omelettes puff up so nicely. They look great on a platter for the brunch crowd.

    BONUS POINTS you can freeze these baked egg omelettes! A true time-saver.

    Suggestions/Recipe Tips

    I am all about batch cooking. When life gets hectic, it is always nice to know I can pull something out of the freezer for dinner. Takeout is expensive, and usually not very nutritious either.

    I pop these into freezer containers. Reheating these baked frozen omelets is so much better than takeout. Pop them in the microwave, and they are ready to eat in a minute or so.

    Serve these alongside some hash browns, or even a salad. Great for little hands to hold onto. They would be great for dinner too.

    Perfect for packing in lunch containers. A great after-school snack.

    Easily swap out any of the ingredients you don’t like, and replace them with ingredients that suit you. Any kind of meat and cheese, or make them meatless and toss in some lentils or beans. Mix and match the veggies too.

    Omelete muffines for the win. Easy to make. Easy to freeze. Easy to customize. Easy to eat!

    Flavoured Devilled Eggs with Bacon & Tomato are always a hit at parties. Hubby LOVES when I make my Easy Classic Pickled Eggs. There are so many ways to enjoy eggs.

      These egg muffins are super delicious. I made them last weekend and they were perfect for the busy mornings all week. My kids loved them too, they just grabbed them on their way out the door for breakfast. I just did the egg and cheese, but next time I’ll add the onions and peppers for me.
