Easy Tin Muffin Omelets

These little omelets are my family's latest favorite breakfast item and snack. They are very simple and quick to make, and the best part for me is that making a large batch can easily be stored in ziploc bags in the fridge for up to 5 days (these reheat very well for 30 seconds in the microwave). All my kids are fans of scrambled eggs, but getting them to eat meat and different veggies is definitely always a challenge for me. With that said though, the boys will eat whatever I sneak into these muffin omelets, and so I am taking advantage.

My recipe I am sharing here with you is a ham & cheese muffin omelet because that is truly our favorite kind, however, you can substitute with whatever your family loves best OR just depending on whatever's in your fridge - feel free to use any other cooked meat for this (like sausage or bacon or any other deli meat) and add in different veggies (like spinach, onion, bell peppers) or cheeses. I usually make these on the weekend, so we have plenty for a few breakfasts throughout the week or just to grab as a snack. And if you want to get the kids involved in the actual cooking, you can just pour the egg & cream mixture into the muffin tins and have the kids throw in their favorite omelet ingredients into each cup in the muffin pan instead - either way works!

Thank you to our partners at Farmland Fresh Dairies, who have shared their freshest eggs and heavy cream with our family for this recipe!

Ingredients:

10 eggs
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Favorite Omelet Ingredients:

1 cup of deli meat ham, diced
1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, sliced in cubes
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Beat together eggs and heavy cream in a large bowl until well blended. Stir in all other omelet ingredients, and spoon mixture into a very well greased muffin tin, dividing evenly among each of the cups, without filling to the top.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, and allow to cool before removing muffins from tin. You can store any leftovers in a sealed Ziploc bag for up to 5 days.

Note: Our favorite kind of omelet is ham and cheese, but you can substitute those ingredients with any of your family's favorite, like cooked sausage or bacon, spinach, peppers, onion, Swiss cheese, etc.

“Perpeq”: An Albanian Egg Custard

"Perpeq" is one of my fondest childhood memories because it brings me back to Easter time, as my mom and grandmother mostly made it in our house during that time of year. Guess it was because we had all those eggs in the fridge! Actually, it's a dish that my family traditionally blessed as their breakfast food for Easter Sunday. I appreciate this dish so much because it is exclusively part of my Albanian culture, and it reminds me constantly of the simple ingredients and creativity Albanian women have used historically, living in large families and persevering through many adversities. I am not sure what to call this in English, but the closest thing I’ve had to “perpeq” is egg custard, though it is different. “Perpeq” makes a great dessert OR breakfast item. Thankfully, I am partnering with Farmland Fresh Dairies to share this recipe with everyone, using the best quality milk. It’s taken me years to put this recipe together because my ...

How I Introduced Cow's Milk to my Twins

The transition from infant to toddler is such a big leap, and one of the greatest events that really will change life is the switch from formula to cow's milk. I did this once already with my first child, and guess I learned a lot just through trial and error. We didn't have the best experience switching over to formula with David - poor little guy dealt with tons of constipation issues, but we eventually got there and things were ok. I wanted to share about this experience because the topic of switching to cow's milk is one I often get asked about. Back in the days of first-time-mom life, I used to live on my Babycenter Birth Club community and by the advice of my pediatrician and mother. Nowadays, as a mom of twins plus one, I am much more open to listening to others, reflecting on my first experiences, and I guess I've developed somewhat of a mom tribe to lean on for advice. When I transitioned my twins to whole milk, it was a whole different tactic f...

Easter Bread "Nests" Recipe

With the holy season of Lent here, Easter is just about one month away! And thankfully, Spring is officially here, too! Every holiday, I always think about what traditions I want my family to have, to remember, and to hold onto. Baking with my kids is something I enjoy thoroughly, as it brings us together in preparing and eating. I decided to start a new Easter tradition for our family this year, and so I tested out Easter Bread "nests" with my Kindergartner after school - the bread came out so delicious, and we had so much fun together, that I am sure this Easter tradition is something we will continue every year. One of my most prevalent challenges with my 6-year old son now is getting him to persist through a task that he says is "too hard for me." He wanted to give up when he struggled to roll his dough and was frustrated making his first "braid" with the bread, but, together (with lots of praise, patience and gentleness) we managed to finish wh...
