Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Fillings:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, or ham, chopped)
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes)
- 1/4 cup green onions or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone liners.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add Fillings:
- Evenly distribute the cheese, cooked meat, and vegetables into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Pour Egg Mixture:
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each muffin cup, filling just to the top. Stir gently with a fork if needed to combine.
- Bake:
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the frittata cups are puffed and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the frittata cups to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. Garnish with green onions or chives, if desired.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
Variations
- Vegetarian: Skip the meat and add extra veggies like zucchini or broccoli.
- Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Herby: Mix in fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or dill.
