Gather Your Delicious Ingredients

The beauty of these omelet bites is how few ingredients they require, and you probably have most of them in your fridge already! Let’s see what we need to create these breakfast stars:

4 large eggs: The foundation of our fluffy bites.
¼ cup milk: This makes them extra tender and moist. Whole milk or 2% works great!
½ teaspoon table salt: Just enough to bring out all the yummy flavors.
¼ teaspoon black pepper: For a little peppery zing.
¼ cup diced bell peppers: I love using a mix of red and green for color, but any color works!
¼ cup diced onions: These add a sweet, savory depth.
¼ cup cooked and crumbled sausage: Pre-cooked breakfast sausage is a game-changer here. You can use any kind you like – pork, turkey, or even plant-based!
¼ cup freshly shredded mild cheddar cheese: Melty, gooey, cheesy goodness is a must!

Let’s Get Cooking: Step-by-Step

Alright, put on your apron and let’s make some magic! It’s so straightforward, you’ll be amazed at how quickly these come together.

Prep Your Oven: First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures they bake up perfectly.
Muffin Tin Ready: Grab your muffin tin. You can either lightly grease each cup with a little cooking spray or butter, or use silicone muffin liners. Silicone liners are my absolute favorite for easy removal!
The Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, grab a whisk and beat those eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper until everything is nice and frothy and well combined. No need to go crazy, just until it’s all mixed.
Time to Mix In the Goodies: Now, gently stir in your diced bell peppers, diced onions, crumbled cooked sausage, and that lovely shredded cheddar cheese. Give it a good stir so everything is evenly distributed.
Fill ‘Em Up: Carefully pour this delicious egg mixture into your prepared muffin cups. Fill each one about two-thirds full. Don’t overfill, or they might overflow as they bake.
Bake to Perfection: Pop that muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for about 18-22 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges are set and they have a beautiful, light golden color on top.
Cool Down: Let the omelet bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. This helps them firm up just enough so you can easily pop them out without them falling apart.

Get Creative: Substitutions & Additions

The beauty of homemade is that you can totally customize these! If you’re not a fan of sausage or want to switch things up, here are some ideas:

Veggies: Try finely chopped spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, or even some sun-dried tomatoes. Just make sure to sauté any watery veggies like mushrooms or spinach beforehand to prevent soggy bites.
Cheese: Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or a sprinkle of Parmesan would be delicious too!
Protein: Diced ham, crumbled bacon, or even chopped cooked chicken are fantastic alternatives to sausage.
Spice: For a little kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the egg mixture.

Tips for Omelet Bite Success

I’ve made these so many times, and here are a few things I’ve learned to make sure they turn out perfectly every single time:

Don’t Overbake: Overbaking is the quickest way to dry out your omelet bites. Keep an eye on them and pull them out when they’re just set.
Even Size Veggies: Chop your veggies and sausage into similar, small sizes so they distribute evenly and cook at the same rate.
Prep Ahead: You can cook your sausage and chop your veggies the night before to make morning assembly even quicker!
Silicone Liners are Your Friend: I really can’t stress this enough. They make cleanup a breeze and the bites slide right out.

How to Store Your Omelet Bites

These are wonderful for meal prepping! Once they’ve cooled completely, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. They reheat beautifully in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or you can even enjoy them cold!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! They are perfect for making ahead. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat as needed.

Can I freeze these omelet bites?

Yes! Once cooled, you can freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll last for about 1-2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven or microwave.

Do I need to cook the sausage and veggies before adding them?

The sausage needs to be pre-cooked and crumbled. For the bell peppers and onions, you can use them raw as they will cook in the oven with the eggs. If you prefer them softer, you can sauté them for a few minutes before adding them to the egg mixture.
