Here’s the easy, family-friendly recipe 👇
🧁 Vegetable Omelet Muffins for Kids
Ingredients (Makes 12 muffins)
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (or dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- ½ cup bell peppers, finely diced (any color)
- ¼ cup carrots, finely grated
- ¼ cup baby spinach, chopped small
- ¼ cup sweet corn or peas (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste (lightly for kids)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven:
Set to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone cups. - Prepare veggies:
Finely chop all vegetables (small pieces make them more appealing for kids). - Mix eggs:
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add shredded cheese and veggies, and stir to combine. - Fill muffin tin:
Pour mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. - Bake:
Bake for 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden around the edges.
(Insert a toothpick — it should come out clean.) - Cool & serve:
Let cool a few minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
🧡 Kid-Friendly Tips
- Add a little ketchup or mild salsa for dipping — kids love it!
- Mix in tiny bits of turkey, chicken, or ham for extra protein.
- For picky eaters, blend the veggies slightly before adding — they’ll never notice.
- These store great: refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
🌿 Healthy Mediterranean Twist
- Use olive oil instead of butter.
- Add cherry tomato halves or crumbled feta cheese.
- Sprinkle with oregano or basil for extra flavor.
- Serve with fresh fruit or whole-grain toast for a balanced meal.
