Egg Muffin Ingredients

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.

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.
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
No need to skip breakfast anymore. These are perfect for “grab and go” eating. ENJOY!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
