- Chicken Sausage: Use any brand of cooked and diced chicken sausage. You can also use pork or turkey sausage if you prefer.
- Milk: I am using unsweetened almond milk but you can use regular milk or any other non-dairy milk you enjoy but be sure use one without any sweetener or flavor.
- Veggies: The combination of spinach, white onion, and red and green bell pepper bulks up the omelet adding fiber and nutrients.
- Parmesan Cheese: The sharp flavor of parmesan cheese adds richness, saltiness, and savoriness to the omelet. You can swap it with any cheese you prefer.

- Dairy-free: Use a non-dairy milk you prefer and eliminate the cheese or replace it with your favorite brand of dairy-free cheese.

How to Make a Slow Cooker Omelet
Here’s a look at the simple steps for making an egg omelet in the crockpot. Before you get started, grease the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. You can also lay plastic wrap inside your slow cooker for easy removal and cleanup.
Step 1: Combine the eggs, egg whites, milk, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2: Whisk them together until fully combined.
Step 3: Add the onion, spinach, bell peppers, and chicken sausage to the mixture.
Step 4: Add the parmesan cheese and mix everything together.
Step 5: Transfer the mixture to your slow cooker.
Step 6: Cook for 90 minutes on high. Check after an hour to see if eggs are set. If not set, cook another 20-30 minutes until set. The timing will vary slightly slow cooker to slow cooker so best to check.
Expert Tips
- Easy Cleanup: Don’t forget to grease or spray your slow cooker before adding the egg mixture. It will make your cleanup much easier.
- Serving: Enjoy this slow cooker egg recipe with other breakfast favorites like some fresh fruit, a banana oat muffin, a high fiber protein smoothie or even a chocolate chip banana pancake.
- Storing: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze it in individual portions for up to three months.
Recipe FAQs
You can reheat it in the microwave for just a few short minutes until heated through. It’s great to reheat in the oven or air fryer. Place it in a baking dish and heat at 350° F until heated through.
Sure, this works great if you’re feeding a crowd on the weekend or for a family reunion. Just be prepared to extend the cooking time to allow for the eggs to fully set. I suggest not filling the slow cooker up past the half-way point for the best results.

this looks amazing. Is this doable in an instant pot? I also have an Instant Electric Dutch Oven but not a traditional crock pot.
I have not tried anything other than a slow cooker, but you could likely use the slow cooker function on your Instant Pot I’m thinking. I do not use mine as I have a separate slow cooker.
This is good and easy. Easy to customize as well. My husband cannot eat spinach so we used kale and it turned out fine.
My husband and I love this recipe! We use ten whole eggs and add either chopped bacon or finely diced ham, chopped tomato, and a little freshly shredded cheese. We cook it on high for 90 minutes then low for about 30 until the middle is completely set.
