Mini Frittatas
I love eating eggs for breakfast. Or any time of the day really. I came across a recipe for mini frittatas on Family Fun. They remind me of mini omelettes because you have an egg base, and then you fill it with whatever mix-ins you desire. I chose shredded cheese, bell peppers and bacon. Mmm bacon.
These were really easy to whip up and I like how versatile they are with the fillings. They were initially puffy but sank down and became kind of wrinkled and shriveled after they cooled which is too bad. They don’t look so pretty but they taste great.
When I was adding in the mix-in ingredients, they kept sinking in and disappearing into the liquid egg batter. But once they baked, the ingredients rise to the surface, adding some color to the frittatas.
I need to figure out a way to keep them from shrinking so much, but other than that, I loved these. The original recipe makes them the size of cupcakes, and it looks like there wasn’t as much shrinkage. I’ll have to play around with the recipe some more. But I’ll definitely make these again. I couldn’t stop popping them into my mouth.
These would be perfect for brunch or for a portable on-the-go breakfast.

I should try this! I wake up hours before my own “FH” (who can’t cook a lick) and spend the morning working, so he always goes out for breakfast. I bet he could pop these in the microwave and save us some money!

Yes! Definitely check these out. So easy to make and you can bring them on the go, reheat, etc. My FH can’t cook either. haha.

Just made these. Now, I’m no cook. <— I mean, seriously ill-equipped for housewife duties, but these were easy. Directions are fantastic. I used turkey sausage, red, yellow and orange bell peppers and mexican shredded cheese…
They. Are. Fantastic.
Thanks for the recipe! They were so good, I doubled the recipe and made another batch!
