There are never too many ways to enjoy an egg. These omelette muffins are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great to whip up for a single meal, or the perfect omelette recipe to feed a crowd.

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.

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…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. 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.

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

Muffin tin omelettes are easy to make. They actually resemble a crustless quiche. Have you tried the egg white omelette bites at Starbucks? I will be making a version of those too.

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.

  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 1/4 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! 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.

    Gloria, I actually have a whole package of chicken sausages and bell peppers in the fridge — not to mention eggs, so this is great timing. I love that you can freeze these muffin cups for a quick and healthy breakfast on a busy morning — so smart. My daughter usually skips breakfast because she can’t be “bothered” — but if it’s already made, it’s no bother and she will love it! Thank you.

    I’m making up several batches this weekend so I can have them during the busy holidays. I do love my egg breakfasts and frankly I can see me eating these for a quick lunch.

    Life IS busy! I thought this to be true before I had a baby. And now? Lol! I didn’t know busy before! I always try to make time to fuel myself with breakfast (and coffee), but having something like this as a quick grab would be amazing.

    This solves a huge problem, thank you so much! I love eggs for breakfast. I usually have it with toast but some mornings I have to leave so early, I can’t have my eggs. I know, first world problems. I love the ‘grab and go’ of this recipe. Definitely going to make this and have it as one of my to-go breakfasts. So much better than hitting the drive through. Thanks for this recipe!

    We make muffin omelettes all the time. We make them on a Sunday and eat them all week long! We bought silicone muffin trays just for them, way easier to pop out.

    I’ve been eating a lot of frozen and reheated muffins lately… this is a much healthier option for night owls like me! Mornings are not my jam, but somehow breakfast is lol! Can’t wait to give this method a try.

    Do you find the egg muffins stick to the pan much when adding vegetables to it? I have a similar breakfast egg muffin recipe with three different flavor combos on the Earth, Food, and Fire website, but find that they stick quite bad when adding veg to the eggs. I’m assuming its due to the moisture content. I’m not a fan of pan spray and use butter to line my pans instead. I’ve also found that lining the muffin cups with a strip of bacon works quite well. Of course thats an issue if your vegetarian. Do you have any other tips?
