High Protein Ninja Foodi On The Go Omelette Mason Jars
Many years ago when my second youngest was having trouble with a bit of hyperactivity during school. One of the most important adjustments that I made was giving him a high protein breakfast before school. Eliminating bread and sugars made such a big difference in his ability to be calmer and pay better attention in school. Where was my instant pot than???!!! This would have made my mornings so much easier and kept us from having a morning where we had cereal on the run out the door because we ran out of time.
You can load your omelets with whatever your favorites are. I like to change mine up so this way there is a nice variety during the week and no one gets bored.
Easy Omelet Mason Jars in Instant Pot
My first batch I used the lids (lids only, not the rings) to lay on top of my jars during cooking so that water does not splash inside. Occasionally the lid will create such a tight seal during cooking that it took the eggs much longer to cook. I would recommend laying a piece of aluminum foil over the top, I found that worked the best.
Mason Jar Omelets
These mason jar omelets will leave you coming back for me. With the Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi it makes the cooking even easier. You get that light and fluffy egg that is blended with meats and more. Plus these on the go omelets mason jars are so versatile to dress up with your exact flavor combinations.
Variations for On the Go Omelettes in Mason Jars
Here are some other ingredients you might want to toss in with your omelettes as they bake away in your Ninja Foodi.
- Sauteed onions
- Spinach leaves
- Green Peppers
- Jalapenos
- Sausage
- Mushrooms
- Zucchini
- And More
As you can see you can use almost any combinations to really make an omelet to fit your needs. I also will make variations to fit what my husband likes, kids and then myself. That way everyone gets exactly what they want.
Can You Freeze Omelettes
Yes! You can freeze mini omelettes and then reheat them later. If you freeze in the mason jars, just remove the lid and all metal before you pop in the microwave to reheat. You can even thaw in the fridge the night before and then reheat in the oven or microwave in minutes.
Give these easy mason jar omelets a try, and see how you like it. The beauty of this recipe is the versatility in ingredients, and you can use your Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi! I am loving my Foodi and use it any chance I get. If you are on the fence on purchasing one, I say dive right in and try it.

i actually used pint wide mouthed. you can really use any jar you have. The wide mouth makes it a tiny bit easier for the kids.
Do cook without the lids on??????? Omgosh I started it with lids on then took off
i am so sorry, I updated the recipe. I found using aluminum foil worked better. If you use the lids, they may make such a tight seal that the eggs do not cook as well.
Maybe i dont understand but if you are scrambling 2 eggs and the adding the rest of the precooked ingredients (bacon etc) how much do u really need to cook it in the IP?
The only item precooked is the bacon. Nothing else is and you need the amount of time posted in the recipe. Sometimes it even needs another minute or two.
How long do you microwave these for if they’re in the fridge?
Your recipe instructions in step 2 are a little confusing. You need to state that for each jar you scramble 2 eggs with 1 Tbsp. milk.
Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely be making these.
