TIPS FOR MAKING OMELET BITES
- To keep the mini omelet bites from sticking, spray each muffin cup with non stick cooking spray.
- Pack each bite with tons of flavor by cutting all the ingredients into small pieces.
- Whisk the egg mixture to incorporate air and create light an fluffy eggs (adding milk helps too).
- If adding meat, make sure the meat is already precooked before adding it to the muffin bites.
- Keep your ingredients equally disbursed by adding the bits (vegetables and meat) to the bottom of each muffin cup. If you add all the ingredients to the egg mixture the added bits (vegetables and meat) will clump together.

Ingredients
For the Denver Omelet:
- 1½ cups white onion, chopped
- 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups ham steak, cut into small cubes
- 2 dozen jumbo or extra large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 heaping cup of sharp cheddar, shredded
For the Cheese Omelet:
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- leftover egg mixture
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°. Spray muffin cups with non stick cooking spray. Sprinkle on the bottom of each cup the onion, red and green bell peppers and ham. NOTE: I ran out of filling before I ran out of the egg mixture so I made 7 cheese omelet bites with the leftover egg mixture. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over ham mixture and fill each cup. Add a sprinkle of cheese. Bake 20 minutes. Slightly cool, run a knife around the edge. Use an off set spatula and pop them out of the cups. Serve hot. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator (up to a week) or wrap in plastic wrap and foil and freeze (up to 3 months).
