Loaded Breakfast Frittata Cups Recipe

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

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone liners.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Add Fillings:
    • Evenly distribute the cheese, cooked meat, and vegetables into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Enjoy these flavorful and customizable breakfast bites!
