Enjoy an omelet in the palm of your hand! This is a great healthy option for a grab-and-go breakfast. Make ahead and reheat quickly!
Why This Recipe Works
Dark grey clouds that hung low in the sky smacked down my lofty dreams for this post. It won’t be nearly as cool to tell you about what I had planned as it would have been to pull it off. I’ll try. On-the-go breakfasts are awesome! Everyone is in a hurry in the morning, right?
I thought of skydivers, who get up with the birds to jump out of airplanes. If the sun is shining and the plane is flying, the last thing we want to think about is nourishment. Coffee, maybe, but not food. I dreamed of creating a video that involved skydivers grabbing On-the-Go Omelets as we walked to the airplane.
And then jumping out of the plane while munching on them. We had almost an entire weekend of low, unjumpable clouds, so my idea did not transpire. Another time. Ahem.
What has transpired was a day of gorging myself silly at the Minnesota State Fair today.
Deep-fried green olives, fried pickles, cheese curds, a corn dog, Reuben bites (that tasted so much like this amazing Reuben Braid!), cookies, a deep-fried Monte Cristo, a dreamsicle shake, French fries, chicken-on-a-stick and walleye cakes. I ate all of the above today, I kid you not.
How To Make Omelets On The Go
Crack a dozen eggs into a medium bowl. Add a splash or two of water.
Whisk those babies up.
Then you’ll have to do a bit of thinking. What ingredients would you like inside your cute little omelets that will fit in the palm of your hand? Bacon? Ham? Tomatoes? Mushrooms? Cheese? Spinach?
Pick the omelet extras of your choice and prepare them. Chop, slice, dice, do whatever you need to do.
Divide the whisked eggs between twelve muffin cups (coat generously with cooking spray first). Each cup will be filled to about two-thirds full.
Add the extras to each muffin tin, making sure the contents don’t overflow.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked all the way through. Serve warm and enjoy!
FAQ About Eggs
As a good source of protein and full of healthy fats, enjoy an egg a day, or maybe two if you really enjoy them!
A hard-boiled egg is cooked so that the egg white and egg yolk both solidify. On the flip side, soft-boiled eggs may have a yolk and the white partially liquid and raw.
Eggs can be used 5 weeks after the sell date listed on the carton. The sooner they are used, the fresher they will be.
1 large egg contains approximately 72 calories.
1 large egg contains approximately 6 grams of protein.
1 large egg contains approximately 0.6 grams of carbohydrates.
Yes, dogs can eat eggs because when cooked thoroughly, eggs are a nutritious and delicious snack for dogs. They are even sometimes used to help settle digestive systems for canines.
What To Serve For Brunch
Brunch contains the best collection of foods on the planet that are sweet and savory and come from a breakfast and lunch menu, which includes alcohol.
- Homemade Bagels – Make homemade bagels using only 5 ingredients and in 20 minutes from start to finish! NO YEAST or rising or waiting required.
- Blueberry Muffins – You have just met your new go-to Blueberry Muffin recipe! These muffins turn out great every time, they are moist and totally packed with blueberries.
- Breakfast Pizza – Like brunch itself, this recipe is a combo of two types of meals, making it the perfect brunch fare. Pizza combined with eggs, spinach, bacon and goat cheese? Yes, please!
- BEST Breakfast Casserole – I have been making (and perfecting) this breakfast casserole for YEARS and it is one of my all-time favorite breakfast foods. This is perhaps my favorite thing ever to make for brunches.

I make these all of the time now! Great idea! After they cool I remove from pan and put in Tupperware container and freeze. Then take out portions as I want them and microwave – covered with paper towel and reheat. Very good still.
Hi Kat! Thanks so much for reading! I've never tried freezing these, but I would think that would work great! Let me know how it goes!!

Hi!
I really enjoy your blog, thanks for sharing.
I plan to make these this weekend and wonder if I can freeze any leftover baked omelets?
Thanks again.
