Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

8 large eggs
¼ cup milk (or any non-dairy milk like almond or oat)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Vegetables (choose your mix):

½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)
¼ cup diced onions
½ cup baby spinach, chopped
¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup grated zucchini (optional)
¼ cup mushrooms, diced

Add-ins (optional):

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
¼ cup cooked chicken, turkey, or ham (optional)

Tools You’ll Need

12-cup muffin pan
Mixing bowls (large and medium)
Whisk or hand mixer
Measuring cups and spoons
Non-stick spray or silicone muffin liners

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or use silicone liners for easy release.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

Dice all the vegetables evenly for quick, uniform cooking.
If using watery vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini, sauté them in a pan for 2–3 minutes to reduce moisture.
Pat dry with a paper towel if needed.

Tip: Avoid too much moisture in the veggies — it can make the muffins soggy.

Step 3: Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

Eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth and well-blended.

This forms the fluffy, savory base of your omelette muffins.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Cheese

Fold in your prepared vegetables and shredded cheese.
Stir gently until everything is evenly distributed.
If you’re adding cooked meat or herbs, mix them in at this stage.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cups

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
The mixture will puff slightly while baking, so don’t overfill.

Optional: Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for a golden, melty finish.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
Insert a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean when done.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm, or cool completely for storage.

They’re fluffy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients — perfect for any time of day.

Flavor Variations

1. Greek-Style Omelette Muffins

Add feta cheese, black olives, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.

2. Western Omelette Muffins

Include diced ham, onion, bell pepper, and cheddar cheese.

3. Spicy Mexican Omelette Muffins

Mix in jalapeños, black beans, corn, and pepper jack cheese.
Top with a little salsa or avocado before serving.

4. Mushroom & Swiss Muffins

Add sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and a pinch of thyme for earthy flavor.

5. Vegan Option

Use plant-based eggs (like JUST Egg) and non-dairy cheese.
Skip any meat-based add-ins.

Tips for Success

Use silicone muffin liners: They make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
Pre-cook moisture-rich veggies: Mushrooms, zucchini, and tomatoes can release water. Sauté briefly before mixing in.
Let them cool before removing: Hot muffins may break apart — wait a few minutes for best results.
Don’t overbake: Eggs cook quickly. Remove when slightly jiggly in the center; they’ll finish setting as they cool.
Add herbs for freshness: Chives, parsley, and basil give great flavor and color.

Serving Suggestions

Breakfast On-the-Go: Pair with fruit or a smoothie.
Brunch Table: Serve with toast, avocado slices, and fresh salad.
Snack Time: Enjoy warm or cold with a dipping sauce like salsa or sriracha mayo.

Tip: These are great for kids — mild, colorful, and easy to eat with no mess!

To Reheat:

Microwave for 20–30 seconds (if refrigerated) or 45–60 seconds (if frozen).

They’ll taste as fresh as the day you made them!
