No one really knows how the Denver Omelet came to be or how it got its name. There are certainly some colorful stories out there! But the exact origin of the Denver omelet is uncertain. Best guess is it came from a variation on an egg foo young made by Chinese railroad workers in the late 1800s.

4-Divide mixture evenly among cups of the muffin tin. I find that a #20 (3 tablespoon) scoop works well for this. Each muffin cup should be about 3/4 of the way full.
5-Bake for 20-25 minutes, until eggs are fully set.
6-Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

To freeze:

1-Place cooled egg muffins in a single layer in a gallon-sized freezer bag, and lay flat in your freezer until frozen solid (overnight).

To reheat:

1-Remove egg muffin(s) from freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator, either in a bag or another airtight container. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until heated through.
2-To reheat directly from frozen, microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, then 30-60 seconds at full power.
