Crockpot Veggie Omelet! Make breakfast easy by letting the slow cooker do the work! This simple make ahead breakfast is loaded with vegetables and protein. The perfect way to start the day. Paleo + Gluten Free + Low Calorie!
Dating someone who doesn't have the best eating habits is a huge reminder of how far I've come with my own eating. The other day the guy told me he eats Fruit Loops for breakfast and a snack at night. OMG. I died. Chemicals + sugar = FAKE FOOD GROSSNESS.
Then he asked if JIF was a good peanut butter. Died again! I told him that was where I drew the line. He's not allowed to see me if he keeps eating JIF. Kidding. I didn't say that, but when he asked for healthier recommendations I more than happily obliged. We'll see how that works out. #GodHelpMe
Sometimes I wish I didn't know the things I know about food and was just one of those people who could blissfully eat anything unaware of what's in food and how bad it is for you. I suppose that's the benefit of losing 80 pounds and becoming a nutritionist, or is it a consequence? Whew. Big question for another day!
On the other, it's a good reminder for me as to how difficult it is for people to make healthy choices. I've been eating this way for so long I forget how easy it is for me to make healthy choices, and breakfast seems to be one meal that trips people up.
When I meet with my clients, they're almost always not eating it, not eating enough or not eating the right things. The response I get is they don't have time. Well, I've got a breakfast hack today that involves no cooking because the crockpot does the work with this Crockpot Veggie Omelet!
I meal prep frittatas, egg muffins and mason jar eggs to make breakfast a breeze during the week. Now I'm adding this easy dump and bake Crockpot Veggie Omelet to the gang. Just toss your favorite veggies in the crockpot with some eggs, a little milk, seasonings and you've got breakfast for days.
Even better! This Crockpot Veggie Omelet takes just 90 minutes to make. For you early risers, you could easily dump and bake this before running out the door.
Get up, dump everything in the crockpot, workout, get ready, check the crockpot and serve it with salsa up for a healthy, veggie-protein packed breakfast. Hey, it's not as perfect as eating freshly cooked eggs, but it's certainly a lot better than Fruit Loops!
Crockpot Veggie Omelet
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup spinach shredded
- 1/2 cup white onion diced
- 1 cup bell pepper diced (or 1 whole bell pepper diced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grease the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray or you can also lay plastic wrap inside your slow cooker for easy removal and cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir in the onion, spinach and bell peppers. Any veggies will work in this, also cooked bacon or sausage would be great too!
- Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
- Cook 90 minutes on high. Check at 60 to see if eggs are set. This is how long it took mine. If not set, cook another 20-30 minutes until set. The timing will vary slightly slow cooker to slow cooker so best to check.
- Slice into 4 wedges and serve immediately!

What I Used For The Recipe
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.
Would this work with 10 whole eggs?
Yes, you can always divide in half the number of egg whites to substitute with whole eggs or double the amount of whole eggs to substitute with egg whites. 🙂
Hey girl hey!
I am pumped about showing all my fairly new colleagues my wide spectrum of potluck fare, so I plan on doubling this recipe. How long would your recommend cooking this and on which setting? I'm terrible at xray vision and wouldn't be able to tell if the eggs were done just by giving it a shake in the crockpot...
I live by instructions and haven't been disappointed!
You would still cook it on high but for longer. I haven't tried so I don't know exactly how long. I would recommend trying an extra 60-90 minutes, but you should check every 30 minutes to make sure it doesn't over cook.
Excellent. Thank you for the very helpful tip! I look forward to reporting how it went!
Holy smokes Megan, what a treat this was. I made a large batch for my colleagues to honor our Supervisor for Veteran's Day this week and it was a hit!
I could have definitely added more salt for my double batch, probably a Tbs, but it tasted delicious regardless. Adding diced ham was a personal touch, but it worked well and one of my colleagues is lactose intolerant, come to find out so this recipe was perfect.
I cooked it on high like you said but for about 3.5 hours and it was cooked through without any crisp edges. What little was left over, my husband took for work the next day and, reheated said it was one of the best breakfast dishes he's ever had. I give all the credit to you! Thanks for sharing this. It's a success in my book!
Good to know it worked out so well for you! I'm so glad you and others liked it. Thanks for reporting back and letting me know too! Have a great day!!!
I just started this in the crockpot! Hopefully it's ready in time to send with my honey to work! It looks amazing, so colorful! Thank you!
Can it cook on low for longer?
I haven't tried, but I imagine you could.
Does this reheat very well?
For me it was fine. If you don't like reheated eggs, you might not. But I don't have a problem with eating reheated eggs.
It doesn't get any easier than cooking eggs in a crockpot. I've never tried it before but totally am for meal prep next week!
Hope you give it a whirl!
Great minds think alike! Except mine are muffins. I had no idea you could make eggs in a slowcooker!!! Totally trying this.
You really must!
I am always jealous when I see people eating what ever without a care in the world how many calories are in it or how healthy it is! But I know it will do me good in the long run! This looks amazing!
Thank you!
My crockpot has collected some dust lately.. haven't used it in a while! Love how easy and nutritious this recipe is! And room for leftovers!
Girl you need to show that crockpot some love!
With great power comes great responsibility, right? I want to dive headfirst into this. ALL THE VEGGIES< ALL THE TIME
Truth!
