These omelet muffins are not just delectable, they are also incredibly versatile! You can customize them with your favorite vegetables, whether it’s peppers, onions, mushrooms, or tomatoes, making it easy to enjoy a nutritious meal that suits your taste.

Seasoned with Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper, each bite is a burst of flavor that will help fuel your morning.
Servings: Makes 3 servings (6 muffins)
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices uncured turkey bacon
- 1.5 cups chopped vegetables (choose your favorites: peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.)
- 6 tbsp heavy cream or Greek yogurt
- Pink Himalayan salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or avocado oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined.
- Mix in Ingredients: Stir in the chopped vegetables and heavy cream (or Greek yogurt). Add salt and pepper to taste for that extra flavor boost.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Allow it to cool slightly, then crumble it into pieces. Fold the crumbled bacon into the egg mixture.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the omelet muffins to cool slightly in the tin before carefully removing them.
