Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Proper oven temperature is crucial for baking your mini veggie frittata cups evenly. An adequately heated oven ensures that the frittatas rise well and cook through without becoming rubbery. Take a few moments to allow your oven to reach the desired temperature before placing the muffin tin inside.

Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (choose between dairy or non-dairy alternatives)

1/2 cup bell peppers, finely diced (mix of red, green, or yellow for color)

1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded cheese (options include cheddar, feta, or a vegan cheese alternative)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats, lightly grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil or a cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the six eggs open. Add the milk, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously until they are fully integrated and frothy.

      Add the Veggies: To the egg mixture, add the finely diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, chopped onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Gently stir everything together, ensuring the vegetables are well incorporated into the egg mixture.

        Incorporate the Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese of your choice into the mixture. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the egg and vegetable mix, enhancing the flavor and texture of each frittata cup.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully pour the egg and veggie mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full. This allows space for the frittatas to puff up while baking.

            Bake: Slide the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you'll know they’re ready when they have puffed up and turned a light golden color. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a frittata cup—if it comes out clean, they're ready.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and let the frittata cups cool for a few minutes. If they’re sticking to the sides, gently run a butter knife around the edges to help release them from the tin.

                Enjoy: Serve your delicious mini veggie frittata cups warm as a hearty breakfast or snack. For meal prep, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy throughout the week!
