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! But wait!

Nutrition Information
Tasty and great to have breakfast already in my refrigerator for the week.
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!
How do you reheat these?? Wouldn’t the microwave make them rubbery? Thanks in advance!
I do a quick hit in the toaster oven!
do you have the nutrition facts for this recipe?
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
Excited to make these! Thank you!
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
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.
These are truly awesome little bites and so convenient to have for breakfast ahead!
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!
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!)
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 9x12 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.
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!
How long are they good in the fridge? Is freezing an option?
5 days!! and yes, you can freeze
I love this! Hardly comment on any post. Just that this I really need to credit!
