Ingredients You’ll Need

6 large eggs: The base of our frittata muffins, providing protein and structure. Fresh, high-quality eggs will yield the best flavor.
¼ cup milk: Adds creaminess and helps create a light texture. Whole milk is recommended, but you can use any milk alternative like almond or oat milk for a different flavor.
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese: This brings richness and a delightful cheesiness. Feel free to swap with gouda or mozzarella if you’re feeling adventurous.
¼ cup diced bell peppers: A pop of color and crunch! You can use any bell pepper color you prefer—red, yellow, or green.
¼ cup chopped spinach: Adds nutrition and vibrancy. Fresh or even frozen spinach (thawed and drained) works well.
¼ cup cooked crumbled bacon (optional): Adds a smoky flavor, but feel free to leave it out for a vegetarian version. You can substitute with turkey bacon or diced sausage too!
Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for enhancing flavors. Don’t skimp on seasoning; fresh black pepper really makes a difference.
Oil or butter for greasing: A little coating ensures your muffins pop right out after baking. Use your favorite cooking spray or a light brush of oil.

How to Make Mini Frittata Muffins with Dill

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and greasing a standard muffin tin with oil or butter. This ensures easy removal of our mini frittatas once they are baked.

Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Blend until well combined, ensuring a light and airy mix. Then, stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to enhance the flavors and add creaminess.

Add Fillings: Next, fold in ¼ cup diced bell peppers, ¼ cup chopped spinach, and, if you’re using it, ¼ cup cooked crumbled bacon. This colorful mix not only adds nutrition but also visual appeal. Be sure to mix gently to maintain the fluffiness of the eggs.

Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and golden brown. You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and they have a light fragrance wafting through your kitchen.

Storing & Reheating

To store your Mini Frittata Muffins, let them cool completely at room temperature. They can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, reheat in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 10–15 minutes or use a microwave for about 30 seconds. Note that freezing may slightly affect the texture, but a quick reheat will bring them back to life.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

To achieve the best texture, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
Avoid overfilling the muffin cups; fill them about three-quarters full to prevent overflow while baking.
If you prefer a fluffy texture, whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air.
Experiment with different vegetables like zucchini, tomatoes, or mushrooms to vary the flavors.
Make ahead for quick breakfasts during the week; just heat and enjoy!
