It’s funny. When you cook with other people… you learn new things. Like for instance these little breakfast frittatas. I never would have thought to make them for my tribe. Not as a breakfast item nor as a quick and easy freezer meal. But after making them with Mrs. HB last week, I am hooked.
These babies are perfect for those of you who don’t have time to cook a homemade meal in the mornings {or for those of you who love to food prep for the week ahead}. Just set one of these cute little frittatas in the fridge the night before, and when you’re ready to eat, just pop one in the microwave for a quick 30 seconds.
Delicious, quick and fulfilling. Now that’s my kind of breakfast.
Ingredients
8 Eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon parsley, dried
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup cheese, shredded {I used a monterey jack/cheddar mix}
1 sausage or 3 slices of bacon, chopped
1/4 cup zucchini, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins with cooking spray.
In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, salt, parsley, pepper and cheese. Whisk together and set aside.
Over medium heat saute the sausage, zucchini, pepper and onion. Remove pan from heat, cool slightly and then stir into the bowl with the egg mixture. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full {I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for this} and bake the mini frittatas for 18- 20 minutes or until they are lightly browned. Serve warm and freeze the leftovers for a busy weekday. This recipe makes 12 muffins.

Hey Mavis, these look awesome! I am pretty devoted to my hubbie and will get up whatever his crazy work hours are and make him a breakfast so he always has nice fresh eggs to eat…but the one or two days I would like to not get up at four am when I could sleep till seven these would totally fit the bill. I wonder though, coul dyou increase the veggies and get the same result?
Mavis Butterfield says
Yes, it really just depends what veggies you have on hand. I say add more!

I have been making almost this same recipe for several years. I have never once thought about freezing them! That’s about to change! Thanks!

Thank you for getting the recipe from Mrs. HB. Thank you for sharing Mrs. HB. I meal prepped with my family (mom, gpa, bro) this weekend and one of our dishes was a frittata made in a skillet that we split 6 ways. These little guys would be handy for portioning. I also like the freezer option. Thanks again!

From my experience, this works better to put the veggies in the muffin pans and then pour the egg mixture over. The veggies are more evenly distributed that way.
