Does anyone know if you can pre-make omelletes and freeze them? Im getting quite tired of rushing in the morning to get these made and was thinking it would be so much easier if I could just heat them up.

I haven't tried freezing, but I have cooked them up and then put them in fridge for reheating a few days later. Tasted just fine!

When I was a kid and microwaves first came out it was a big thing for my friends to make omletes in the mircowave. If i remember correctly, they cracked the egg into the bowl, put some cheese in it, anything else they wanted, season and then put in the mircowave to cook. I dont recall how long exactly though. They tasted alright. But they are pale in color. Hope this helps.

You may be better off checking the freezer section of your supermarket. They make a lot of different meals now.

I make quiche cups and freeze them. Pretty much the same thing- egg mixed with whatever you want. I have a pretty good recipe that freezes and reheats in the microwave really well if you want it. You can also refrigerate for a few days if you plan on eating them quickly.

I would like to have that recipe if you don't mind. I like quick and easy.

Could you post the recipe here? I'm always looking for alternatives for breakfast and a heat and eat would be great because I could even bring it to work and heat it up in the microwave here.

I would love that recipe too!

When I was on a low carb diet I made omelets and froze them. I did NOT think they tasted good when I reheated them. Although the ones I kept in the refrigerator tasted great.

Here's the recipe!!

1 1/2 cups diced veggies -- I used mushrooms, peppers & onions (If you have watery veggies you might want to sautee them beforehand)
1 1/2 cups red fat shredded sharp cheddar
4 oz canadian bacon, diced (I have used turkey sausage and regular sausage here)
8 eggs
1/2 cup lf cottage cheese
salt and pepper

The following directions say to layer ingredients. I just mixed them all up together and divided them into the muffin tins. I think they are easier to freeze and eat if you just mix and then cook.

For pie plate:
Spray a pie plate well with butter flavored spray. Spread the chopped veggies on the bottom, top with the canadian bacon and cheese. Beat the eggs and cottage cheese together, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and pour over the stuff in the pie plate. Bake at 325 for about 40 minutes. let cool about 1/2 hour, then slice (I make it five slices) and remove from pan to a wire rack to prevent the bottom from getting soggy. When completely cool, put into individual containers and refrigerate. Nuke on high about 1 minute when ready to eat.

For muffin tins:
Preheat oven to 350F. Cook bacon (or sausage) in non stick pan until slightly browned. Divide equally into 12 large non-stick muffin tins that have been sprayed with a non-stick spray (for insurance). Combine veggies, cheddar, and cottage cheese. Divide into the 12 tins. Whisk together eggs, salt & pepper. Divide once again into the muffin tins. Bake for 30 minutes.

I nuke them for 15-30 seconds in the morning. You'll find the time that works best for you, and of course it depends on if it's been frozen or not. I think the cottage cheese in this is what makes them nice and fluffy- I've tried tons of quiche cups and they've all turned out gross. I actually like these!!
