Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, well-drained)
  • 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional, sautéed)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for greasing the muffin tin
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin cups thoroughly with olive oil or butter to avoid sticking.
  2. Prepare your fillings: dice bell peppers, chop spinach, and sauté mushrooms or onions if using. Crumble cooked bacon or sausage if adding. This takes about 5–7 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs and 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk until frothy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Stir in shredded cheese and prepared veggies/proteins until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes until puffed and light golden brown. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Let the omelets cool for 5 minutes in the tin before carefully removing them.

Notes

Grease muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking. Beat eggs until frothy for fluffiness. Sauté watery veggies before adding to avoid sogginess. Avoid opening oven door frequently to maintain temperature. Egg mixture can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Use silicone muffin cups or mini ramekins if muffin tin is unavailable, adjusting baking time as needed.
