Ingredient Highlights

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the perfect Dunkin Omelet Bites:
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray, or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
- Prepare the Veggies: If you’re using vegetables, chop them into small pieces. You can sauté the veggies in a little olive oil for 3-4 minutes if you prefer them soft, or you can add them raw for a bit of crunch.
- Prepare the Sausage (optional): If you’re adding Halal turkey sausage or chicken sausage, dice it into small pieces and cook it in a skillet for 3-5 minutes until it’s fully cooked. Set it aside.
Make the Egg Mixture:
- Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk everything together until the eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add Cheese and Fillings: Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped veggies, and sausage (if using). Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Bake the Omelet Bites:
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. You should have enough mixture for 12 omelet bites.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the omelet bites are golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The edges should be slightly browned and firm to the touch.
- Cool: Allow the omelet bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them. You can use a butter knife to gently loosen the edges if necessary.
Serve:
- Serve: Once they have cooled slightly, transfer the Dunkin Omelet Bites to a serving plate. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra pop of color and flavor.
