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.

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.

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!

I made the egg muffins this weekend and they were fantastic. In fact, our son was over and I gave him a few to take for breakfast. I can see making a variety of great egg muffins with this recipe. Now I’ll have to make some more because the other kids in the family want some too.
