Western Omelette Egg Bites
These Western Omelette Egg Bites are made with ham, peppers onions, and dairy free cheese. Perfect for meal prep and reheating on the go! Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free.
Egg Bites are one of my favorite things to meal prep. I usually don’t make a ton of food ahead of time for the week due to the nature of my job, but these are one thing I can get behind! Bryan also loves taking a couple with him to work for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. These are so versatile, and you can feel free to use any add-ins that you have on hand. I just love the combination of peppers, onions, mushrooms, ham, and cheese! Dairy free cheese will work great, too.
What Ingredients You Need to Make These Western Omelette Egg Bites
- Eggs
- Dairy free milk of choice – I like to use unsweetened almond milk
- Salt, Paprika, Garlic powder
- Red pepper
- Green pepper
- Sliced mushrooms
- Onion (red or white)
- Shredded Cheddar cheese or vegan shreds – omit for Whole30
That’s it! All you need to make these delightful mini western omelettes!
How To Make Egg Bites
First, preheat your oven to 375. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil of your choice. Add some of the peppers, onions, mushrooms, ham, and cheese to each of the cups so they are 3/4 of the way full. Omit the cheese for Whole30.
Next, add the eggs, almond milk, salt, garlic powder, and paprika into a bowl and whisk well. I like to transfer this mixture to a large measuring cup with a spout for easy mess-free pouring!

7 Comments on “Western Omelette Egg Bites”
I made these with a couple other egg bite recipes for a trial run to get ready for a bridal shower I was making food for. My husband liked these the best and he is a fussy eater so I knew that said a lot however, they were very salty. I am wondering if the 3/4 tsp of salt maybe should have read 1/4 tsp. Yet, I made them again without the salt and they tasted great, the salt from the ham I used was enough.
It definitely depends on the ham used and how salty that is! the 3/4 tsp is correct. Glad you enjoyed them!
Great recipe! I used veggies I had in the fridge at the end of the week. We ate some right away, and then I froze some. I pulled them out of the freezer and put into the fridge overnight to thaw and then warmed them in a covered skillet with a little water over med/low heat for about 6-8 minutes. Delicious!
Thank you Diana!
What brand of “cheese” do you recommend?
Such a great recipe! I modified fillers based on what I had on hand. This will be a go-to so I have a healthy breakfast ready to go!
Can you freeze these?
