School is out and that means I have a house full of kids that seem to be hungry ALL THE TIME! I need a recipe that is warm, hearty and filling that the kids like and won't take me a lot of time to put together. Can this recipe do all that?
Ingredients
12 large eggs
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups grated colby jack or cheddar cheese
3-4 green onions diced small
Deli Ham cut into small pieces (crumbled cooked breakfast sausage or cooked bacon pieces would also be good)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put two paper liners into each slot of 12 cup standard muffin pan and spray the liner with nonstick spray.
In the bottom of the muffin cups layer ham, cheese and green onions. You want the muffin cups about 2/3 full, leaving room to pour a little egg around the ingredients. Break eggs into large bowl. Add salt and pepper and beat well with a whisk. Pour egg into each muffin cup evenly. The cups will be almost full. Stir slightly with a fork. Bake 25-35 minutes until muffins have risen and are slightly browned and set. Serve warm.
Muffins will keep about a week in the refrigerator. Reheat in microwave on high about 1 minute.
Experiment and add any ingredients you usually put into an omelet: diced green peppers, diced mushrooms, etc... Just fill cups 2/3 full and layer meat, veggies, cheese and green onion. Then, add the beaten eggs and bake.

Omelet Muffins are warm, hearty and filling. The kids and I ate these for lunch, but these would also be good for breakfast, dinner and even a snack. These are very simple to make and everyone enjoyed them. The kids thought it was cool that I turned an omelet into a muffin! They really like omelets and now they like these Omelet Muffins. My 8 yr. old suggested I just make omelets in muffin tins from now on. Since I can never flip omelets over without spilling the insides, I just might take her advice.
I share recipes at these linky parties.
So glad to hear the whole family enjoyed them!
