Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1/2 teaspoon table salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (a mix of red and green recommended)

• 1/4 cup diced onions

• 1/4 cup diced turkey

• 1/4 cup freshly shredded mild cheddar cheese (or substitute sharp cheddar, Monterey jack, or pepper jack cheese)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a donut-shaped muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

3. Add the Veggies and Turkey:
   Evenly distribute the diced bell peppers, onions, and turkey into the muffin cups of the prepared muffin tin.

4. Fill the Muffin Cups:
   Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 2/3 to 3/4 full. This will allow the eggs to expand as they bake.

5. Top with Cheese:
   Sprinkle freshly shredded cheddar cheese on top of each filled muffin cup. You can also use your preferred cheese, such as sharp cheddar, Monterey jack, or even pepper jack for a bit of spice.

6. Bake:
   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet bites are set and slightly golden on top. You can check doneness by gently pressing the center of one of the bites—it should bounce back.

7. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the omelet bites to cool for a few minutes before using a butter knife to gently remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
