We are reaching that time of year where we are getting spring fever and ready for the summer break. School is getting closer to being out andย kids are getting up later and later for school and running out the door. A good hearty breakfast is getting harder and harder to come by these days. My kids come home starving from school.

Since one of our favorite breakfasts to make on the blog is this Oven Baked Denver Omelet, I decided to turn it into these easy to make muffins that can last all week long. You just pop them into the microwave and reheat and have a delicious breakfast ready to run out the door.

Since we have our eggs delivered to us each week, they were starting to pile up in the fridge. I was finally able to start using up some of those eggs and this breakfast was a great solution! They are totally customizable to your families taste but we love the simplicity of peppers, onions, and ham. They are packed with flavor and the ooey gooey cheese inside is delish!

  1. Have you ever tried to bake a whole bunch at once, I am thinking 2 trays of 12 on the top shelf and 2 trays of 12 on the bottom shelf for a brunch party. I am wondering if you can cook that many at once.

    these look great & i can’t wait to try them! i just have one kinda stupid question โ€“ are these regular size muffin tins or are the mini size muffin tins?

  5. We love making ahead breakfasts and then just warming them up. This will be a great alternate to our nutritious apple oatmeal muffins!

  6. I’m always looking for quick, healthy breakfast ideas to hand my kids on the way out to school. I will have to try this (minus the ham).

    1. That was the name given to an omelette with little dices of ham, bell pepper, onion and cheese decades ago in diners across America! It stuck! โ˜บ๏ธ??
