Omelet Muffins – A Healthy Breakfast Recipe

Today I am sharing my recipe for omelet muffins!  Of course omelets for breakfast are awesome.  But mornings can be hectic.  That is why I find it handy to have a few time-saving tricks up my sleeve.

These omelet muffins are easy to make, full of protein and they are just as good reheated in the microwave for a quick grab-and-go healthy breakfast.  I know a lot of us do food prep at the beginning of the week, and these would be a great candidate for that.

This recipe is really more about the method than the ingredients.  You can change it up a million different ways by changing up the veggies, or by changing out what type of cheese you use.

Eggs and egg whites make a great “blank slate” and you can layer in flavors to go in many different directions.  You can even tailor them to your own specific eating preferences – you can leave off the meat for a great vegetarian option.  Or you could make these with just egg whites to go even lower in points.  The options are endless!

You can use a traditional muffin tin to make these, or you can use these cute silicon muffin cups (<- Amazon affiliate link, thank you!) like I did!

I love these.  They are nonstick, so you don’t have to worry about spraying anything.  Plus they are very “green,” i.e. no waste.  Win/win!
