How to Make
Start by gathering all the ingredients and prepping your vegetables. This step is essential as it ensures that your omelet muffins come together quickly.
Finely chop the onion, carrot, and any other veggies you wish to include. The smaller the pieces, the more evenly they will distribute throughout the egg mixture.
Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature while you prepare the muffins.
Grease your muffin tin to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier after baking. This small step will also help the muffins rise properly and maintain their shape.
Whisk the eggs together thoroughly in a large mixing bowl. This will create the right base for your omelet muffins.
ensuring that they’re fluffy and light. Beating the eggs until well-combined is key to achieving the best texture.
Once the eggs are beaten, stir in the vegetables and seasonings. You can mix and match vegetables to your child’s preference.
but make sure they are finely chopped so they cook evenly. Adding sweetcorn gives a lovely sweetness to the muffins, which is often a hit with kids.
The shredded cheese adds flavor and a creamy texture to the muffins, so fold it into the mixture last. It will melt during baking and hold everything together.
Mozzarella works wonderfully, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or a dairy-free alternative if your child has dietary restrictions.
Once the mixture is prepared, spoon it into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way. Be sure to evenly distribute the mixture so each muffin bakes evenly.
Place the tin in the oven and let the muffins bake for about 15-20 minutes. They should puff up slightly and turn golden on top.
After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the omelet muffins cool for a few minutes. Once cooled slightly, remove them from the tin. They’re now ready to be enjoyed!
