Three years ago, on April 29, 2008 to be exact, I made these omelet muffins.
I’ve been considering them for dinners ever since and have no idea why they haven’t actually made it to my plate because they are DAlicious!
Super super easy too – just mix a batter of eggs, whole wheat flour, cottage cheese, flax plus mix-ins of your choice [smoked salmon + dill for me!] and bake.
Transportable. Easily reheated. Morphable. Nutritious!
The smoked salmon adds tons of flavor, but you could make these with all kinds of flavors: nuts, cheeses, bacon, veggies…
While the muffins baked, I sautéed some green beans in lemon juice, dill and dijon mustard.
And toasted a Honey Whole Wheat roll – filled with a pat of butter
See that empty seat 🙁 Matt found a rain leak at the bakery and was a little late coming home. But at least when he arrived dinner was waiting for him.
He brought a surprise for me too – a slice of Chocolate Peppermint Oh! This MAY be even better than the Pumpkin Oh thanks to the crunch of peppermint pieces…mmmm!
I hear Lord of the Rings music playing – I think Return of the King is on [we never finished it].
LOTR or Hunger Games…hmmmm…
eliza says
Hunger games girl! get on it 🙂
Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine says

Lynn @ the actor's diet says
Geez. I remember you making those muffins. I’ve been reading a long time!
jojo says
I’ll definitely have to try this easy recipe! I’m thinking spinach and mushroom inside since I have it on hand… mmmm… 😛
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i love that the blog let’s you see exactly what was going on in life any given day!
these omelette muffins are the best… i have tried them a few times since i saw them on your blog (3 years ago!)
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
Omlette muffins!?!?! These look so goood!!! I love the addition of cottage cheese!!!
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
The peppermint chocolate oh sounds so much better than the pumpkin version! 🙂 Yum!
Christina @ Just Running says
Three years old! My little boy turns three next week.
That dessert looks delicious. What do you like to bake for birthdays?
KathEats says
do you mean personally or at the bakery? We don’t make cakes at the bakery, but I like to make a layer cake about once a year at home!
Christina @ Just Running says
Is that recipe posted anywhere?
KathEats says
I linked to it in the post! Second line or so?
Andrea says
I think she means a link to the recipe of the layer cake that you make, maybe?
Christina @ Just Running says
Yes, I meant the cake recipe. 🙂
KathEats says
Oh sorry!!! Didn’t see the context 🙂
I guess that was before the blog days – I don’t even remember the recipe I used, but here’s a photo of the cake:

And here was a cupcake one:

I guess it’s not an annual thing after all 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I made those a couple months ago! So good!!
Jen says
They look so cute! Do you add oil to the pan when you saute the beans or just the juice?
I say Matt should be late more often if he brings home those rolls! 🙂
KathEats says
Just juice this time
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
Everything looks so tasty!
Kinley @ Better Off Barefoot says
Great idea!!! And my sister just made peppermint brownies that are for a party so I can’t eat them… this chocolate peppermint stuff is just taunting me left and right!
kristen @ verbs and vignettes says
whaaaaat? what a cute little dinner idea. i’d love to try these… i can’t imagine which way the taste would go – muffin-y, eggy, maybe even pancake-y from the flour… too much. haha.
Jamie C. says
Those omelette muffins are soo good! I make a few versions for breakfast and love them! I really need to try a dinner variety! That peppermint roll looks ammmaaaazzzinggg! Might need to head to GH tomorrow to see if mine has anything like it! Happy Hump Dayevening 🙂
Claire says
Oh my goodness, the rain has been so heavy hasn’t it? I wish it was snow (that’s the northerner in me saying that 😉 I hope y’all took care of the leak!! Stay dry!
Maria @ Maria Makes Muffins says
I make really similar egg white muffins on a weekly basis for easy afternoon snacks while the little one naps. I absolutely LOVE them! Actually, I might go grab a couple of them right now.
Jennifer says
I bet that bread is amazing!!
I heard positive reviews of the Hunger Games on NPR. It is highly recommended.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
For me, the new Chocolate Peppermint Oh! would trump the pumpkin b/c I do like pumpkin but I LOVE peppermint.
And I love that with blogs, you can go back in time and determine EXACTLY when you posted something…and boy, these look…perfect. My hubs would do anything for me I’m thinking if I made him those. TOTALLY right up his alley!
Sam says
Crazy that in the first recipe you used fat free cream cheese. I doubt if you would even touch that ingredient now, eh?
KathEats says
I know! times have changed
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Hunger games!! 3 years seems way too long to have gone without those. They look delicious!
Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon says
I LOVE omelet muffins! I make them all the time and they’re perfect as a salad topper for lunch or on their own for a quick snack! I’ve never added flour or cottage cheese to mine though…I usually go for parmigiana, spinach, roasted reds, and various seasoning!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Hunger Games!
And that cake roll looks oh so good!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
I finally finished return of the king! Way good movie but there was always something that kept me from finishing it. They really did good with those movies. Heard they in the works to making The Hobbit. Can’t wait. First chapter book I read as a child.
Jules says
That looks delicious!!! I’ll have to try a gluten free version of them sometime. (And I vote The Hunger Games!!!)
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
I vant cekke.
Khushboo says
I love omelet muffins–> they make a fab on-the-go anytime meal!

Chocolate and mint is my favorite and I rarely get it because my husband hates that combo!

I’ve been meaning to make egg muffins forever too! They always look so delish and easy to make.
Clare @ SweetnSimple says
Ohh yum I’m making those muffins tomorrow!

Eating breakfast right now, but these look so much more delish! I may have to make some for next weeks bkfst.
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
The muffins sound wonderful, I’ll have to try them!! And the chocolate peppermint oh sounds pretty incredible too!
Susan H. @ the food allergy chronicles says
I am baking a Dairy, Egg, and Peanut/Tree Nut Free Chocolate Yule Log for Christmas…peppermint sounds like a nice addition. Will pass it by the kids. Looks yummy!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Aww these look fantastic! I am trying them this morning 🙂
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
Those look wonderful and I love how versatile they are so you can change ’em up! A night of great surprises for both of you! 🙂
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Oooh I love these savory muffins- and the idea of adding BACON. I’m on it!!
Hope the leak got fixed- thank goodness the rain is OUT OF HERE for a while!
Rebecca @ Naturally Healthy and Gorgeous says
Those would make great portable breakfasts!
Joelle (On A Pink Typewriter) says
These sound like a great idea! Super quick and easy bfast to have prepped, too!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I just made egg muffins over the weekend and I loved them! They were such a fun way to eat eggs.
Heather H says
Can I come eat dinner at your house? Lol
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Those muffins are so cute! That is an interesting way to enjoy eggs! That chocolate peppermint oh looks delicious 🙂
Sally @ Spontaneous Hausfrau says
That Chocolate Peppermint Oh would be a Chocolate Peppermint No in my house because there would be nothing left of it in short time. It looks delish!
Angel7 says
I am going to make your omelet muffins recipe for breakfast this morning. Thanks for giving me an idea! I am always looking for new breakfast ideas.

Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
I am determined to make an egg free version of these. I will let you know how they turn out! 🙂
Molly @ RDexposed says
Ooo those would be great for a brunch! Do most GH make the peppermint roll? I really need to make a trip to ours.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
LOTR. SO awesome. The book can wait–even though I really liked that one as well….hmmm.
Allison O'Mara (A Girl in her kitchen) says
Those muffins look delicious! We watched LOTR Return of the King last night, too!
Becca says
I love your leaf plate! Too cute.
Jenn says
Hunger Games! They are all 3 soooo good! And, pretty quick and easy reads. Then you can go back to LOTR:)
Allison says
So many good looking eats- wish I was at the dinner table with you! They almost sound like mini soufflés or quiches?! And that bread, they better have it at our local Great Harvest or I’m gonna have to ask you to ship me a loaf 😛
Kelly says
Quick question, texturally what are these muffins like? I know the recipe has omelette in the title but was just curious. Since there are no leveners in them I would imagine they wouldn’t be quite as airy as a traditional muffin but was curious if they were closer to the texture of a muffin or an omelette.
KathEats says
They’re very similar to a well-cooked omelet – possibly a tiny bit spongier?
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf says
Yep, definitely have a variation of these in the oven right now. 🙂 I used more egg and organic cheddar instead of cottage cheese (we don’t like cottage cheese). I also used soy flour instead of whole wheat (gluten free here, and not allowed to have grains in the morning per naturopath instructions), and more flax meal. And no salmon because I don’t have any. But I did have dill so that went in there too! They smell really good! I’ve been wanting to find more quick, creative, high-protein breakfast options that don’t depend on meat. 🙂
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf says
Oh! And I made a version of that chocolate peppermint log the other day! My friends called it a giant swiss roll, but so much better. 😉 I was surprised to find that many of those roll-type desserts (including the one I made) are flourless! Hurrah for me!
