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
- 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 ¼ 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! 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.

What an awesome idea for grab and go breakfast that’s not a pre-made bar or something. So easy to customize too! We’re going to need these once post-holiday school and activities start back up.
Homemade & Yummy
Yes they are great to make the way you like. Mix and match the ingredients…that way they can be different each time.

I love this idea. I’m all about batch cooking too – and love these little healthy bites for breakfast. Thanks for sharing!
Homemade & Yummy
Batch cooking is the way to go. Saves times and money too. You don’t have to rely on takeout when you don’t have time to cook.
Analida Braeger
Ah these are a perfectly healthy breakfast on the run. I’m guilty of drive through. But these look so easy to microwave, throw in a cup, then get going on errands. Thanks for sharing!

Yes….so much better than drive through. Save yourself some money and eat better food.

Krista Price
I almost always prep a dozen hard-boiled eggs each week, but these sound so much more satisfying and flavorful! I can’t wait to make these. Actually, it looks like I have everything to make these right now, so off I go!
Homemade & Yummy
Enjoy. These are super easy to warm up, and perfect for “on the run”.
Lisa
Your egg muffin omelettes are really delicious! I think it’s those chicken sausages along with the cheese that send me over the top! I did freeze them, but since my family and I knew they were in there, they were gone in the first 3 days… Time for more, I guess. Love the convenience of having breakfast (or snacks, lunch & dinner) ready to go — and the goodness of doing it from scratch is a big bonus.
Homemade & Yummy
HAHAHA…well the convenience speaks for itself. So glad your family enjoyed them. I need to make more myself too. Happy New Year!!
Kelly Anthony
These look like the perfect freezer meal to keep in the freezer at all times. When school starts again it will be nice to have these ready when life gets busy again.

I love eggs in all shapes and meals, it’s just so versatile and delicious! I’ve never frozen eggs before, but this seems to be a great way to do it!
Homemade & Yummy
I always have some of these in the freezer. So easy to warm up for an “on the run breakfast”.
Danielle Wolter
I am loving these! SO perfect to make ahead and bring to work for breakfast. I am def trying these!
Homemade & Yummy
I always have some in the freezer just for that reason. They re-heat so nicely too.
Lynne
I took mine out of the freezer & popped them in the microwave. They were still tasty, but they were very “rubbery”. Do you think they should be thawed prior to reheating to prevent the rubbery texture?
Homemade & Yummy
I have just warmed them straight from the freezer. You could experiment and see it that works better for you.
Julie
Love the idea of freezer friendly. These would be great for getting out of the door fast in the mornings!
Homemade & Yummy
Yup they are perfect for that.
Michele
Ive never thought to make them ahead and freeze them, That is going to be heavenly on the busiest of mornings when I don’t have time to make breakfast!
Homemade & Yummy
They are so handy to have in the freezer.
Ashley @ Big Flavors from a Tiny Kitchen
I love a simple, make-ahead breakfast. These look absolutely delicious!
