Description
A delicious vegetarian mini frittata packed with flavors, great for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray, for greasing muffin tins
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/41/2 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Muffin Tin: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. While that’s warming up, generously grease your mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. This step is important; a well-sprayed tin keeps those frittatas from sticking when it is time to eat.
- Whisk Eggs & Add Ingredients: Whisk the eggs in a bowl until they are nice and frothy. Then, add your choice of chopped veggies or cooked meat for extra flavor.
- Pour & Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Be careful not to overfill; otherwise, you do not want a mess in your oven when they puff up and overflow.
- Bake & Enjoy the Aroma: Pop the muffin tin into the oven for about 15 minutes. As they bake, enjoy the aroma of eggs and veggies wafting through the kitchen. If you think they look a bit jiggly at the end of 15 minutes, don’t worry; they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the mini frittatas to cool in the pan for a few minutes before gently removing them. Use a small spatula or knife to loosen the edges. If you try to take them out too soon, you might end up with some stuck bits.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These frittatas make great leftovers.
- Expert Tips: Ensure ample nonstick spray is used to prevent sticking. Let them cool briefly before removing them.
- If the frittatas turn out dry, reduce baking time slightly to retain moisture.
- To make sure frittatas puff up properly, whisk the eggs well to incorporate air before baking.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of fresh fruit. Pair with avocado slices for creaminess. Drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Recipe Variations: Add diced bell peppers for sweetness. Substitute spinach with kale or arugula. Incorporate different cheeses like feta or goat cheese into the mixture.
- Ingredient Notes: When selecting ingredients, opt for fresh spinach for best flavor. You can substitute fresh vegetables for different varieties based on your preference.
