Baked Denver Omelets

Baked Denver Omelets are a healthy make-ahead breakfast made with eggs, vegetables, and cheese. The perfect grab-and-go-breakfast any time. 

The holidays are over and we are starting the obligatory January “eat healthy” routine. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that if I eat some type of protein in the morning I don’t have those mid-morning hunger pains. Eggs are especially good for morning protein and when you add vegetables, it’s easy to make sure you are getting all of those servings in each day. This recipe has cheese but you can easily omit the cheese. In fact, you can tailor these to anyone’s likes by changing the vegetables too.

I like to make these in double batches because my husband, Vince, likes to eat them in the car during his morning commute because they are the perfect handheld breakfast.

You can make these in large ramekins, like I did, or in a muffin tin. Either way, everyone will love them.
