Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 medium (grated) Carrot
- 1 medium (grated) Zucchini
- 0.25 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (sliced thinly) Green onion
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- as needed (for greasing muffin tin) Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and low-fat milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the grated carrot, grated zucchini, low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onion, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or a small ladle, divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full to leave room for the frittatas to rise slightly as they bake.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the frittatas to cool for 5 minutes. Use a small knife or spatula to gently remove them from the tin.
Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These can also be frozen for up to 1 month and reheated as needed.
