One the most versatile dishes you anyone can make are eggs. Eggs for breakfast. Eggs for lunch. Eggs for dinner. For a fancier take on eggs, I really enjoy making eggs frittatas. But in this recipe, I kicked it up a notch by making the frittatas mini and fun sized. I came up with the idea after our church was having a breakfast for the kids classes this past weekend. I wanted the kids to participate but decided to pack their own breakfasts just in case there were any items being served that was on our “no go” list.
I needed breakfast to be portable and easy to grab and go. Hence the these mini fun sized fritattas. I used a muffin tin to make them the perfect shape. Of course you can make these with any ingredients you like but I made these frittatas vegetarian.
These frittatas would make a great addition to a menu plan for Meatless Mondays. The almost bite sized egg delights are packed with goodies like onions, red peppers, greens and shiitake mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms are known for packing health benefits like reducing inflammation, aiding in weight loss and have great anti-cancer benefits too.
Besides being cute, cooking the frittatas or egg muffins in a muffin tin not only ups the cute factor but the reduced size helps reduce the cooking time too. Top if off with a little shredded cheese right before it goes into the oven or not. Just don’t go overboard.
After about 12-15 minutes the egg is poofs up and is ready to go.
Soon after that they’ll fall just a little but don’t worry they taste just as good.
And then just like that those egg delights are ready to serve.
Delicious? Yep.
Nutritious? You betcha.
Easy grab and go breakfast, packed lunch and plated dinner meal…
Definitely. I have you covered. These egg muffins remind me of these egg and ham breakfast cups a made a while back.
I think that I’ll have to put those back in rotation. To shop my health and style favorites, including a muffin tin make your own mini fritattas, be sure to shop here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thedomesticlifestylist
