Do you like having breakfast for dinner? We sure do. Freezer Friendly Egg Muffin Baked Omelette is perfect for breakfast, brunch or dinner.
Have you tried an omelette baked in a muffin tin? What a neat way to make this breakfast egg bake. Classic omelette ingredients are baked into the perfect “hand-sized” grab and go breakfast.
There are never too many ways to enjoy an egg. Perfect for breakfast, like in these biscuits, lunch or dinner. Great to whip up for a single meal, or to feed a crowd. We always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge for a quick breakfast or snack. This egg muffin baked omelette is perfect for busy mornings.
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?
Life is so busy…ALL THE TIME. 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. We love having BREAKFAST FOR DINNER. Poached Eggs & Lentil Hash is a favourite around here.
EASY BAKED OMELETTE RECIPE
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.
Muffin tin omelets are easy to make. BONUS POINTS too since they are freezer friendly! YES, you can freeze omelettes! These muffin tin eggs are a true time saver.
You know what I’m talking about. Those days when you have to be in 3 places at once. You have to take the kids to hockey, dancing, piano lessons, you have a dentist appointment…and oh yeah, you need to go buy a birthday gift for the party on the weekend. Sound familiar?
Reheating these baked frozen omelets is so much better than takeout.
Some recipes are so easy to double up. Why not make extra to tuck away for another day. Muffins, soups, stews, and these Freezer Friendly Egg Muffin Baked Omelettes are perfect to batch cook. I can’t tell you how many times my “freezer meals” have saved the day. After all, breakfast omelettes can just as easily be dinner omelettes, right?
MUFFIN TIN OMELETTE INGREDIENTS
Just like having an omelette, but in muffin form. Combine your favourite ingredients to make these egg muffin cups. Bake and enjoy. Omelette ideas include:
- eggs
- cheese
- onions
- peppers
- bacon
- sausage
- chicken
HOW TO MAKE AN EGG MUFFIN BAKED OMELETTE
For this egg muffin baked omelette recipe, I used chicken sausage, onion, red pepper, and cheese.
Fry the sausage in a skillet. You can drain any excess fat from the pan. Add some chopped onion and peppers.
Once that is cooked, set it aside. In a measuring cup crack some eggs and whisk. Add some milk (or even cream) if you like, totally up to you.
Generously spray your muffin tin to prevent sticking. Depending on the size of tin you use (mine was a 12 cup), add about 1/4 meat mixture to each cup. Top with cheese, pour in some egg mixture and bake.
These egg muffin omelettes puff up so nicely. Baking eggs in the oven is a fun and delicious way to enjoy them.
Serve these alongside some hash browns, or even a salad. Great for little hands to hold onto, and perfect to feed a crowd. Pop leftovers into a freezer container. Easily reheat in the oven or microwave for a meal or two on another day.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS?
Eggs are so versatile, and you can make them so many ways. In our house, we like eggs all ways. Our favourite way is bacon and eggs on the BBQ. Yup, I can’t wait for grilling season to start. Weekend brunch is so good, and hubby does the cooking!!
Devilled eggs always are a hit. The Green Devil is a favourite party appetizer. Not only do they look neat, but the combination of egg and avocado is also delicious.
How do you hard boil eggs? Seriously there are so many variations for this simple task it makes it seem complicated. My favourite way is the cold water method.
When you feel like breakfast for dinner, Freezer Friendly Egg Muffin Baked Omelette is a great healthy and delicious choice. You might be lucky enough to have leftovers for breakfast in the morning.

February 16, 2019 at 10:14 AMNo, I haven’t ever tried making an omelette in a muffin tin but it looks like it is a great idea. In fact, I used the muffin tin for other things, but never for the breakfast type of food. I definitely like the size here – perfect to grab if you want something quick and easy.

Byron E Thomas
February 14, 2019 at 9:40 AMGloria, these are on of my favourite things to have on hand. I will make them all of the time, but usually with sun dried tomatoes, spinach, cheese, etc. I can’t wait to try them with sausage. Confession time: I don’t reheat them. I just grab one or two from the fridge in the morning, toss them in a ziploc bag and eat them on my way to work. The other passengers on the subway must think I’m a strange one. Or maybe they’re jealous of baked egg muffins!
Homemade & Yummy
February 15, 2019 at 6:04 PMI know what you are saying here. These are super easy and super delicious. I would say they are jealous for sure.
Marisa F. Stewart
February 14, 2019 at 7:58 AMI love make ahead breakfasts especially when we are away from home. Eggs are my absolute favorite for breakfast then add the sausage, onion, pepper, and cheese and I’m in heaven. Now, I don’t think the egg muffins would be just for breakfast. I think they’d be great for a light lunch or snack. I’m making out a store list. I’m making sure I have all the ingredients.
Homemade & Yummy
February 14, 2019 at 8:21 AMYes, these are great for ALL day long. We often just pull them out of the freezer when we want something quick.
