These Denver Omelet Breakfast Cups are super satisfying, easy to make, and the perfect breakfast or brinner!

Denver Omelet Breakfast Cups HERO

As part of my 2016 New Year’s resolutions I decided to focus on eating breakfast more often, making it a hot breakfast, and cooking for my kids in the mornings. Now I realize it is March, so talking about New Year’s Resolutions ended weeks ago, hahaha, but the fact is, this is one I have actually stuck to pretty well. Remember my Biscuits and Chicken Sausage Gravy I shared last month? Well that was just the beginning of amazing breakfasts, but also amazing brinners.

My husband is living in a different state right now for work, so I am doing the whole single parent thing, and it is hard to keep up with all the demands on my time as I shuffle kids to their various activities, work full time, and keep 4 little people alive. One of the things that has been neglected lately is my house. So, I made a deal with my kids. If they would keep the house picked up (with my help), I would make them a hot breakfast before school EVERY morning. This means they have to throw their laundry in the laundry basket instead of the bathroom floor, and clear their dishes, and make their beds, etc.

I was worried I was setting my kids up for failure, and while it has not been perfect, our house has been far less messy, and my kids have enjoyed a number of hot breakfasts, including these amazing Denver Omelet Cups. And when I run out of ideas I head to the Jones Dairy Farm Brinner page for more ideas.

I know the concept of making breakfast omelets in a muffin tin is nothing new, but I had not tried it before. And so I personally was so happy with the results. And it was so much easier than I expected that I made a video to show you guys


or this quick video version

Anyway, these omelet cups use hash browns, cheddar cheese, and eggs, and Jones Dairy Farm ham steak, as well as an assortment of veggies. They are easy to customize, leftovers keep pretty well, and because they are “mini” kids love them!!

I loved using the Jones Dairy Farm Ham Steak for these. I just chopped it into chunks, and let each kid put their desired amount into the Omelet Cups they were making for themselves. The ham steaks are naturally gluten free, have no artificial junk. Plus they taste amazing. And they make these breakfast cupcakes taste so good. The ham is the perfect addition because it adds some saltiness. Yum!

Honestly, these are just so easy. And I love it because when I make them I can put half in the fridge for later. They reheat beautifully.

And another great perk is you can customize them. Each kid gets to add in their favorite. The eggs can be cooked fully, or left with a delicious runny yolk. You can season as much or as little as you want. Basically they are the perfect breakfast for a crowd.
