Make these delicious Baked Omelet Muffins in a Muffin Tin!
Would you believe I posted this recipe almost 7 years ago? Yes, back when I called these Omelets in a Pan. Since that time, I’ve now seen hundreds of recipes similar to it. I won’t call mine the first because honestly I have no idea, but it was definitely time to give it an update.
Since that time, these have been a staple in our morning routine and weeks. We typically make a large batch of them each week and use them throughout the week for morning breakfast. It’s a great way to get some protein without really having to do much in the morning.
Tips for making Baked Omelet Muffins in a Muffin Tin
These are very versatile, so you can really use anything that you would love in an omelet. I like to use a muffin tin to make these, then I crack an egg into each spot.
That means you will use exactly a dozen eggs, which happens to be perfect for us.
I use a whisk to break apart the yolk just a bit, then I add in my toppings. I typically use peppers, onions, and cooked sausage. This is where you can to be creative, you can use spinach too or bacon, maybe a ham? It’s completely up to you!
Once they are all ready to go, simply bake them for 25-30 minutes. That’s it! We store them in an airtight container in the fridge for the week.
In regards to baking time, if you want a more runny egg then you would want to do closer to 20-25 minutes. I like them to be fully baked, almost hard-boiled in some ways.
All you need to do is warm them up in the microwave in the morning and you have your egg for breakfast and protein without wasting any time!
Easy right?
This is one of the best breakfast recipes to prep-ahead in my opinion.

I wanted to share your Omelets in the Brownie Pan, but could’t find it on your FB page. I always give credit, and wanted to share the pix with the recipe. Please let me know if that’s ok, and if so, let me know the date it was on FB.
Thanks! 🙂
As long as it’s credited back that’s fine with me. I haven’t shared it in a long time on FB with the picture, so it’ll probably be best just to use this link to the post and tag me on my FB page.
I tried these when you posted them originally and they are awesome. It is funny that I had just assembled them in the fridge for tomorrow morning and then I saw this posted today! Yummy! Love that you can make them ahead, reheat as leftovers and freeze and reheat. I did all of the above the last time I made them. So good and love that you can change them up if you want, although I love it just the way it is. I did use muffin tins as that is what I had available.
So glad you enjoyed them! They are my go to recipe for quick mornings!
Do you cook the sausage first? I’m a brand new mommy that has never cooked and now need to step up my game by making edible things. 🙂
Welcome to Mommyhood! Thanks for asking, I just added a note but yes cook the sausage first. You can also buy pre-cooked sausage crumbles.
could you use the muffin tops pan to make these, would that work?
Hey there! Thanks for the great recipe! 🙂 I put turkey sausage and shredded Mexican cheese in mine and used my Pampered Chef brownie pan!
One thing, I cooked them for 30 mins and they wound up waaaaay over done :/ They’re still edible, just a weird texture. Should I try 20 minutes next time?
Thanks so much!
Oh no! I would def check them then after 15-20 minutes. It can be how the oven is heating differently since they all function differently.
These turned out perfect and delicious! As an extra, those hash brown patties cut in half fit perfectly in the bottom of each square. I added the toppings then poured eggs on top. Baked the hash browns 10 minutes, then added the rest and baked 25 min more. Perfect.
That sounds delicious!!!
How long do I microwave them frozen out of the freezer or do I need to thaw them first
I will typically let them thaw for about 10 minute or so and then microwave for about 30 seconds and add 30 seconds again if needed. I wouldn’t do over a minute initially.
