Ingredients

There are only a few required to make this mini omelet muffins recipe. Feel free to use whichever omelet ingredients you prefer! Ingredient measurements can be found in the printable recipe card further down the page.

Deli Ham: Make sure it isn't sliced too thin as it will burn too quickly in the oven or won't hold up with the egg.
Eggs: You can use fresh whole eggs or refrigerated scrambled egg mixture to save time.
Shredded Cheese: Use any freshly grated shredded cheese or cheese blend you like. We use cheddar, jack cheeses, mozzarella, and provolone but all work well.
Green Onion: If you use nothing else, I think the green onion adds a lot of flavor to your egg muffins.
Vegetable Filling: Use any combination of finely chopped onion, peppers, tomatoes, chopped cooked broccoli, or any other vegetable you want to include as long as they're cut into small pieces.
Meat Filling: Add chopped ham, cooked and crumbled bacon, or cooked and crumbled or sliced sausage to your omelet muffin filling.
Milk, Cream, or Water: Added to the omelet mixture to make the eggs lighter and fluffier.

How to Make Egg Bites

Here are the step-by-step instructions for making these baked omelet muffins. For the complete instructions, check the printable recipe card further down on the page.

Lightly coat muffin cups with cooking spray.
Shape a slice of ham into each muffin cup as best you can.

Ham slices are placed into each muffin opening in the pan.

Place a tablespoon or so of mixed chopped vegetables on top of the ham at the bottom of the cup.
Add the shredded cheese. If you are adding additional ham, cooked bacon, or sausage, you will want to add it now.

PRO TIP: The ham will not fit perfectly into the cup and some of your egg may run outside the ham into the muffin cup. This is ok.

Cheese is added on top of the ham in the muffin cups.

Scramble the eggs with the liquid of you choice.
Use a ladle to spoon the scrambled egg mixture on top of the vegetables to fill up the ham cups.

Bake the muffin cups in the oven. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each egg before serving if desired.
Remove the ham and egg cups carefully. Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Storage

Refrigerate: Store the cooled omelet muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Wrap the cooled omelet bites individually in plastic wrap and place them into an airtight container or resealable freezer bag, with as much air removed as possible. Freeze for up to three months.
Reheat: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for between 10 and 14 minutes. You can also reheat in the microwave for 15 second intervals until heated through. If frozen, it's best to thaw them out overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Tips

Don't Worry About Perfect. It's totally ok if the ham doesn't perfectly fit in the muffin tin. Simply fit it in the best you can. The weight of the eggs and filling will help smooth it out and if some of the egg mixture spills over it is OK.
Make Ahead. You can easily double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd or save for serving later on!
Thickness of the Ham. Standard thickness of deli ham is ideal for this recipe. You don't want the ham too thick or so thin that it doesn't hold up to the eggs and other ingredients.
Don't Skip the Spray. Cooking spray makes quick work of greasing the muffin. Alternatively you can brush it with butter, olive oil, or any other vegetable oil.

FAQ

Do you have questions about making this recipe? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about this recipe.

Can I use paper muffin liners for making egg cups?

This isn't super idea. Eggs contain more moisture which will end up making the paper liners soggy. I recommend simply greasing the muffin tin with cooking spray.

Do I need to cook the filling ingredients first?

Yes, you do need to cook filling ingredients first before adding them to the egg cups. Use cooked meats and sauteed vegetables for the best results.
