About these mini frittatas
Fun to eat: Kids love mini frittatas because they can pick them up with their fingers. Even my daughter who hates scrambled eggs eats these fun egg cups. Healthy: The frittatas are made with whole eggs and egg whites which gives them a great fluffy texture and lightens them up a bit. They are very low in carbs. A serving of 2 frittatas is only 131 calories with 10 grams of protein. They’re packed with healthy vegetables, too. Flavorful: These little egg cups are so tasty. Sautéed peppers and onions, along with sharp cheddar cheese, ensure that they won’t be bland.
Change It Up
You can easily customize the frittatas based on what you have in your fridge or what vegetables you like.
Add meat: Add a half cup of finely diced ham, cooked sausage, or crumbled bacon, or try these sausage and broccoli mini frittatas. Change up the veggies: Use a green pepper instead of a red pepper. Use broccoli, chopped grape tomatoes, green onions, or mushrooms. Why not corn with pepper jack cheese? Try different cheese: All out of cheddar? You can easily substitute any shredded cheese you like. Crumbled feta or grated parmesan are good, too. Mix and match: It’s easy to add different vegetables (or omit them) to individual frittatas in the muffin pan to satisfy any picky eaters in your family.
Make-Ahead, Storage & Reheating
Make Ahead Mini Frittatas: I like to make a double batch so I have plenty to freeze. They keep well and thaw quickly which makes them perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, lunch, etc. Refrigerate: Baked frittatas can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze: Place cooled frittatas in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge; they can also be reheated from frozen. Reheat: Wrap one or two frittatas in a damp paper towel and reheat in 30 second intervals until warm. Try not to overheat them. They are also good eaten at room temperature. Quick-Start Guide!
