📜 History
Egg-based dishes have been eaten for thousands of years across many cultures. Omelets originated in ancient Persia and later became popular in France.

This idea became especially popular for kids’ meals and meal prep, leading to the modern omelet muffin—a healthy twist on a classic omelet.
