These individual veggie and cheese frittatas are fluffy, savory, and bursting with flavors. Each frittata is a delightful combination of eggs, vibrant vegetables, and rich cheese, making them a satisfying meal option any time of the day.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 cup chopped mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, etc.)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)

• Optional: fresh herbs for garnish

Directions

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with olive oil.
• Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped vegetables and cheese until evenly combined.
• Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
• Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed up and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Cool and Serve: Allow the frittatas to cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Key Prep Tips

1. Use a Muffin Tin: For easy portioning and even cooking, prepare the frittata in a muffin tin or small ramekins.
2. Cook Vegetables First: Sauté vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or spinach before adding them to the egg mixture to remove excess moisture and enhance flavor.
3. Whisk Thoroughly: Beat the eggs with a splash of milk (optional) to create a light and fluffy texture.
4. Don’t Overfill: Leave a small gap at the top of each muffin cup or ramekin, as the mixture will puff up slightly while baking.

Suggested Variations

• Cheese Alternatives: Use shredded cheddar, feta, or mozzarella, or a plant-based cheese for a dairy-free version.
• Add Protein: Include diced ham, cooked bacon, or crumbled tofu for a protein boost.
• Herb Additions: Mix in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil for added freshness.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili flakes, paprika, or garlic powder for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• As a Solo Meal: Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast or lunch.
• On-the-Go: These frittatas are perfect for meal prep—store them in the fridge and reheat as needed.
• Toppings: Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of chopped herbs for a finishing touch.
• Beverages: Complement with a fresh smoothie, a cup of coffee, or a herbal tea.
