Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Vegetables
- ¾ cup chopped spinach (baby or regular spinach, or similar leafy greens)
- ½ cup diced red capsicum / bell pepper
- 8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- ½ cup shallots, finely sliced
Cheese
- 70 g / 2.5 oz feta, crumbled (about ½ cup)
Other
- Oil spray, for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the egg muffins evenly.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly spray six standard non-stick muffin holes with oil spray to prevent sticking and make removal easier after baking.
- Whisk Eggs and Seasoning: In a bowl, whisk together the six eggs, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in the chopped spinach, diced red capsicum, quartered cherry tomatoes, finely sliced shallots, and crumbled feta cheese until all ingredients are well combined.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the six prepared muffin holes, filling each almost to the top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops are light golden and the centers spring back when lightly touched, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Serve or Store: Serve the frittata muffins immediately while warm. Alternatively, let them cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the microwave for 2 minutes or overnight in the fridge before serving.
Notes
- You can use baby spinach or regular spinach or any similar leafy greens for the recipe.
- The muffins freeze well and can be reheated for a quick breakfast or snack.
- Feel free to swap feta for another cheese such as goat cheese or cheddar depending on preference.
- Make sure not to overfill the muffin tins to avoid overflow during baking.
