Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or cream
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or crumbled feta cheese

Vegetables

1/4 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup diced zucchini

Meats (Optional)

1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage, chopped

Herbs

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, chives, or basil

Instructions

Preheat and prep your pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil to ensure the frittatas release easily after baking.
Whisk the eggs and liquids: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk or cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, which helps create fluffy frittatas.
Add cheese, veggies, and seasonings: Fold in the chopped vegetables, cooked meats if using, cheese, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
Pour into the muffin tin: Spoon the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
Bake until set: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cool and remove from tin: Allow the Mini Egg Frittatas to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove them with a butter knife or small spatula to keep their shape intact.

Notes

Use eggs at room temperature for better mixing and even baking.
Do not overfill muffin cups to avoid spills and promote browned edges.
Chop vegetables and meats finely for even cooking and better texture.
Use a silicone muffin tin for easy release with minimal oil.
Allow frittatas to cool slightly before removing to help them firm up.
