Easy LOaded Baked Omelet Muffins
Protein-packed omelet muffins, or baked mini omelets, are a perfect breakfast for busy mornings. Make a batch ahead and freeze for the days when you don't have time for your typical bowl of oatmeal. You can also serve these fresh with fruit salad for a simple weekend brunch.
INGREDIENTS
-
3 slices bacon, chopped
-
2 cups finely chopped broccoli
-
4 scallions, sliced
-
8 large eggs
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
½ cup low-fat milk
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
​
Step 2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Add broccoli and scallions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
​
Step 3
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, cheese, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the bacon and broccoli mixture. Divide the egg mixture among the prepared muffin cups.
​
Step 4
Bake until firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
TIPS
To make ahead: Wrap omelets individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw, if necessary, and remove plastic wrap. Wrap in a paper towel and microwave each omelet on High for 20 to 30 seconds.
