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. These would be perfect for on the run breakfast for the kids as well as perfect for a brunch!

  2. Love how you added all those lovely veggies from your fridge! Need some of these to help me along with that healthy New Years Resolution!

  3. I read about some egg muffins similar to these fritattas the other day. I would be curious to know if tomatoes would be an acceptable ingredient? Thank you!

    1. Mine were pretty stuck to my non-stick muffin pan. Next time I might grease with butter or use muffin liners next time!

    2. I use alum muffin cups. Makes clean up so much easier. I tried the spray and I still had a mess to clean up.

  4. I made these using 5 eggs and 4 additional egg whites. I used a non-stick pan and sprayed it. I had trouble getting them out of the pan. I am wondering if you have any thoughts about getting them out of the muffin pan. I also tried using muffin liners, this was not successful. I love the recipe and want to continue making them!
    thanks

    1. Hey Jane! I make them on a weekly basis with a non-stick pan and spray and I just take them out of then pan as soon as they come out of the oven. I don’t let them cool IN the pan as that sometimes makes it harder to come out!

  5. I made these for easter brunch and they were a huge hit!!! I’m making more right now. Thanks for the yummy recipe!!

    1. 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!

  6. These are great and easy to make to have breakfast ready for the week, I enjoy mine with hot sauce and avocado slices!

  7. These are divine and full of protein ❤️ I’m always looking for protein and something other than scrambled or fried

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

  10. 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!)

  11. 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
