A healthy and delicious breakfast that's ready in almost no time and can be prepped ahead? Meet your new bff... Petite Vegetable Frittatas! Press play to see how easy these are!
Back in the day I wasn't really a breakfast person. Well, unless it came in the form of a jumbo double chocolate chip muffin from Costco!! Do you guys remember those? They still exist and it's basically just chocolate cake in muffin form. They were best when heated up for 25 seconds so the chocolate chips just barely start to melt. Oh man, I can literally taste them just writing this. I'm just going to forget about the fact that they were about 2 billion calories each. Times have since changed and now I'm all about a healthy breakfast to kick off the day like these Petite Vegetable Frittatas!
Thomas and I go through these like whoa! I make them every few days and we just re-heat them every morning in a toaster oven. I've been known to dunk them in salsa, add a dollop of guacamole, or go back to my childhood ways and add a squirt of ketchup! They're perfect because the last thing I want to do in the morning is make a mess of my clean kitchen! You can make them with any vegetables you have laying around your kitchen, add a touch of cheese and some fresh herbs and you have yourself a perfect breakfast!

Notes
Nutrition Information
Making these later but I think it would be helpful if you mentioned spraying the muffin tins-not everyoe might be aware this is necessary.
Can prosciutto be added?
sure thing!
Can I make these a day ahead of putting them into the oven? Trying to prep for Christmas!
yes you can prep the liquid mixture. I wouldn't pour into the muffin tins until day of. And be sure to spray them so nothing sticks
These are delicious mini frittatas that are great to have on hand for breakfast, lunch or snacks. They are a great way to use up whatever is left in the veggie drawer. Today I used bell pepper, leeks, zucchini and spinach.
Hi! This is an awesome recipe! Do you store in the fridge and if so for how long? Trying to figure out if this is a week long recipe! Also if we do egg whites whats the ratio? We will add in a yolk or 3 for more flavor 🙂
Thanks!
I keep in fridge for about 4-5 days.
Haven't made it with egg whites to be honest!
Do you have a recipe for egg bites?
These basically are egg bites, no?
Love this recipe! I used a large onion, red bell pepper, and kale. It took about 15-18 min to bake. The William Sonoma gold touch pan is incredible- I’ve made this recipe in a different pan with cooking spray and could not clean it for the life of me, but the gold touch pan requires no spray, and they pop out easily!
What magic makes these pop out of the tin? I’ve tried everything and have now resorted to a silicone tray. Yours look great though….so what am I missing?!?!
i use gold touch sheet pans from williams sonoma that are incredible and very non-stick
Very good receipe
I have made this recipe many times and vary it from time to time....changing the veggies and/or the the type of cheese. They look beautiful at the end of their baking time, but often "fall" after being out of the oven. I often have wondered if you know if there is a reason for this.
Love theses, so tasty. In the video it looked like you placed you muffin tin on a hot stone or baking tray? Is that Recomended?
Thanks. Love your recipe’s
