Breakfast—the most important meal of my day
I love a good breakfast and these omelet muffins don’t disappoint. They are not only protein packed, but since I like to load mine with fresh veg, there’s lots of extra nutrients and fiber in them, too. They’re the perfect breakfast for my “need to get out of the house fast” mornings,
I usually make a double batch of these omelet muffins and just pop what I don’t eat into the freezer. I keep a few in the fridge once cooled from the oven. They can keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
The frozen omelet muffins are super easy defrost and eat.They can go into the microwave for 1 minute or so until they’re warm.
The perfect side ends up being whatever fresh fruit on hand in my fridge. I usually have fresh berries with this dish since they’re a regular fridge find. Even more antioxidants and fiber with my meal!
I use my favorite omelet ingredients for omelet muffins—onion, mushrooms and spinach. But you can add whatever you like. Mine are often meat-free, but a little cooked ham, bacon or sausage mixed in do make them extra delicious. I sauté the veggies before adding them to the egg mixture. I prefer a softer vegetable texture.
I also love to top my omelet muffin with Fresh Salsa right before eating them. A little heat (and extra vitamin C) from the jalapenos tastes so good.

How to reheat omelet muffins
