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!

- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 8 eggs beaten together

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large 10 inch skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Sauté the diced zucchini, onion and red and yellow bell peppers for about 5 minutes until they are slightly soft. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sautéed vegetables to the bottom of a regular sized muffin pan.

Nutrition Information
How do you store these post baking/pre reheating?
let cool to room temp, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge. Then pop them in a microwave or toaster oven to re-heat before eating!
These are great and easy to make to have breakfast ready for the week, I enjoy mine with hot sauce and avocado slices!
Makes me want to plan brunch for this weekend!! 🙂
These are divine and full of protein ❤️ I’m always looking for protein and something other than scrambled or fried
Love, Love, Love these!!! I will be prepping on Sunday also!!!
Best meal prep item!!
So easy and perfect meal prep for breakfast! Love it!
I love the mini size of these!
How well do they freeze?
perfectly! just let them cool before freezing
Can these be served at room temp?
sure thing!
I love this! Hardly comment on any post. Just that this I really need to credit!
How long are they good in the fridge? Is freezing an option?
5 days!! and yes, you can freeze
Outstanding. Love the small, on-the-go bites. I mixed 1 less pepper but added chopped spinach. They’re good with a slice of tomato which I assume one could add to recipe. Thanks!
Okay, but you don’t need to bother with the muffin pan. Just double the recipe and bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes in a 9×12 or similar baking dish. I use Pyrex and oil it first. When done, cut into squares like you would brownies. Then freeze or refrigerate and use just as you would the muffin-style ones. Less cleanup. More frittata. As for the veggies, I tend to sauté first. Then I can use tomatoes, mushrooms or other “wet” veggies. After sautéing, I usually wind up with about 4 cubes of cooked veggies to 10 eggs and two cups of shredded cheese.
I made these petite veggie frittatas last night and they were a hit with the whole family! This recipe is for sure a keeper! I will try using muffin liners next time though! Although it was a non-stick muffin pan and I also used cooking spray, they still stuck and cleaning the pan was not fun. I’m still scrubbing, lol! (It was worth it though and next time I’ll try the liners!)
These sound so good, and would be perfect for a meal train I am cooking for. Would the cooking/texture be affected if I omitted the Parmesan? The family I am cooking for cannot tolerate dairy
without dairy is totally cool!
These are truly awesome little bites and so convenient to have for breakfast ahead!
I love this recipe! It’s great on its own or I use it as inspiration when I’m cleaning out the fridge. They hold up well (freezer too) and are great meal prep for the week.
Loved that you could freeze these and they were great for when you have house guests.
Any substitute recommendation for the Parmesan cheese or think it would be fine with out it due to an allergy?
you can totally omit
Excited to make these! Thank you!
Tell me about this muffin tin! I love the look.
I wish I knew the brand – it was from a commercial kitchen store! Nothing fancy
do you have the nutrition facts for this recipe?
How do you reheat these?? Wouldn’t the microwave make them rubbery? Thanks in advance!
I do a quick hit in the toaster oven!
Can’t wait to try these! Are they 1 per serving? Do you have the nutritional values on these?
Thanks!
I do 3-4 per serving and no we dont do nutritional info yet!
Tasty and great to have breakfast already in my refrigerator for the week.
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
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.
Very good receipe
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
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!
Do you have a recipe for egg bites?
These basically are egg bites, no?
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!
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.
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
