EGG MUFFIN BAKED OMELETTE INGREDIENTS
These super easy omelette cups use all the classic ingredients.
Omelette ingredients can include:
- eggs
- milk or cream
- cheese (any flavour)
- onions
- peppers
- bacon
- sausage (any flavour)
- chicken (cooked)
- seasonings
- fresh or dried herbs
BEST WAY TO MAKE AN OMELETTE
In my opinion, the classic French method is king. Did you see that movie *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 *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 *silicone muffin tins.
- Get your pans ready.
- Preheat your oven.
- 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.
- Depending on the size of tin you use (mine was a 12 cup), add about 1/4 cup meat mixture to each cup.
- 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! These muffin tin eggs are a true time-saver.
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.
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?
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.
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.

I’ve been making these for years for my kids! I am not a breakfast person and never eat before lunch, but of course, my two kids need a healthy choice before heading off to preschool in the morning. These are so quick and easy to pull out of the freezer and microwave before we head out the door!

No, 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.
Homemade & Yummy
You can use your muffin tin for so many recipes, and this is just one of them.
April
I like having breakfast for dinner and it actually works the other way around, too. I love experimenting so I need to give this omelette a try – I am sure it would be great for those nights when I am incredibly tired.

Homemade & Yummy
Yes these are perfect for busy mornings, busy evenings…or just for a quick snack.
Byron E Thomas
Gloria, 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
I know what you are saying here. These are super easy and super delicious. I would say they are jealous for sure.
Marisa F. Stewart
I 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
Yes, these are great for ALL day long. We often just pull them out of the freezer when we want something quick.
Denise
I love egg muffins like this. They are the perfect low carb breakfast or even snack! Now if I could only get my hubby to like eggs I could get him on board for this convenient and delicious breakfast. Love your bright photos too!
Homemade & Yummy
Well maybe if he tried these, you could convert him to an egg lover.
Stine Mari
