EGG MUFFIN BAKED OMELETTE INGREDIENTS
These super easy omelette cups use all the classic ingredients.

- 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.

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.
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
What a great idea. We all need help in the kitchen during the crazy busy holiday times.
Dana
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.
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
Yes life does get busy once little ones are in the house. I think you will love the convenience of having these in the freezer. Ready and waiting for you. Hope you give them a try.
Tina
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!
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
YES it is better than drive-through for sure. Super easy to whip up a batch of these and pop them in the freezer. They are ready to eat when you are.
denise

Veena Azmanov
Delicious Breakfast option. Easy and unique too.
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
Thanks so much. Give them a try and see how easy and delicious they really are.
Jolina
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.
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
YES the silicone muffin trays do work great. So glad you enjoy these in your house too.
Barbara chrimes
How long can you keep them in the freezer for?
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
I would say no problem to keep them for several months in a good sealed container.
Jacque
I love that these are freezer friendly. They are perfect for busy mornings or when you just need a quick snack.

Homemade & Yummy
This is such a great recipe…hope you give it a try. Best part is make it the way YOU like it.
Charity
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.
Chef Markus Mueller
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.
michele
Id love to have these in the freezer most mornings so I wasnt whipping a last minute shake up! The chicken sausage especially sound perfect in them!! Putting the ingredients on my list to give them a try!
Homemade & Yummy
ENJOY…I need to make another batch soon. We are ALL out…and they are so good for a quick and healthy breakfast.
