Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup zucchini, diced
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray. - Prepare the Veggies:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and sauté the onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. - Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. - Combine Veggies and Egg Mixture:
Add the sautéed veggies to the egg mixture. Stir in the shredded cheese and combine everything evenly. - Fill the Muffin Tin:
Pour the egg and veggie mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. - Bake the Frittata Cups:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. - Serve:
Let the frittata cups cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Optional Add-ins:
- Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for extra protein
- Fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, or chives) for added flavor
- A drizzle of hot sauce or salsa for some kick
Enjoy your veggie-loaded breakfast frittata cups! They’re versatile, easy to make, and perfect for meal prep.
