How easy can it really be?
Easy as 1-2-3! Well, to be fair, there are actually about 5 steps to creating these mini-frittatas, but that doesn’t sound as catchy. The basic ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:
- Eggs
- Heavy Cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- (This recipe calls for diced onion as well, but it is not required to make this dish!)
You also have the freedom to add whatever other ingredients you want to create the perfect egg-muffin for you! Cheese, peppers, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, chives, the possibilities are endless!
You’ll want to combine your basic ingredients (the eggs, heavy cream, and salt and pepper) in a bowl and mix well so that your egg mixture achieves a smooth consistency so that your mini-frittatas cook thoroughly and evenly.
Then you’ll just pour your mixture into the prepared muffin tin, either greased or into silicone muffin cups, and add your choice of toppings to customize your mini-frittatas!
After baking in the oven (preheated at 350° F) for 15-17 minutes, you can enjoy these appetizing egg-bites! Or, if you’re looking to save time throughout the week, you can allow them to cool and store them in the refrigerator for easy reheating later during those stressful mornings!
