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?

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.

How long can you keep them in the freezer for?

I would say no problem to keep them for several months in a good sealed container.

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.
Homemade & Yummy
Yes since you can make these and freeze them, they make a much healthier choice for sure.

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?
Homemade & Yummy
Yes the can. If you like, try the silicone muffin trays. That seems to help.
