Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional, seeds removed)
Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy for a fluffy texture.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, diced onion, and tomatoes into the egg mixture. Then fold in the shredded cheese evenly throughout.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for puffing up while baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mini frittatas cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
