Start your mornings right with these delicious, loaded Denver Omelet muffins! Super cheesy, crispy, and a breeze to make.
These days, I much prefer having breakfast at home, where there is no need to reserve a seat in advance. You can save some of these muffins for later by putting them in the freezer, and you can reheat the rest in the microwave whenever you want during the week.
These Loaded Denver Omelet Muffins are great on their own, but they are amazing to pair with some fresh fruits as well.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
2 1/4 c. shredded hash browns (thawed and press with a paper towel)
1 1/2 c. Cheddar/Jack Cheese
3 tbsp green bell pepper (diced)
3 tbsp red bell pepper (diced)
1/4 c. ham (diced into 1/4-inch pieces)
5 eggs (whisked)
2 tbsp milk
salt and pepper to taste
3 green onion stalks (diced)
How to make Loaded Denver Omelet Muffins
Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees F. Using cooking spray, grease a muffin pan.
Place the thawed hash browns and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well and tightly press using your fingers. Into the prepared muffin pan, shape the mixture, then top each with 1 tbsp of cheese.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges of the muffins have browned and the cheese has melted.
Whisk the eggs and milk in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add the ham along with the green & red peppers and the green onions.
With the egg mixture, fill each muffin cup and top with extra cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the muffins are done.
Remove from the oven and serve right away. Enjoy!
