Finding best way to meal-prep eggs for breakfast

Every morning at least one person in my family cooks eggs, and the results are often inconsistent. To find a fail‑proof meal‑prep method I tried three approaches with the same ingredients — six eggs, ¾ cup egg whites, 1 cup chopped red bell peppers, a small onion, and 2 ounces crumbled feta — yielding between eight and 12 servings: baked egg muffins, a large stovetop omelette, and a sheet pan of eggs.

The egg muffins cooked quickly and were easy to portion, but they puffed up with too many air pockets and the ingredients didn’t distribute evenly, leaving some bites without cheese. Most of the egg stuck to the muffin pan, and the cleanup after soaking for days largely erased any time saved by baking.

Cooking a large omelette in a 12‑inch pan proved tricky to manage. Keeping the heat low, tilting the pan, and covering it took time; the method ran nearly 25 minutes and produced an overcooked smell and taste with a crispy bottom and a soft center. It was also difficult to portion into equal pieces for storage.
