Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or nonstick spray
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups bell pepper, diced
- 1 cups spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray, or line with silicone muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Prepare your add-ins: dice the bell pepper, chop the spinach, crumble any cooked bacon or sausage, and shred the cheese. Divide these evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about halfway with the mixture of your choice.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Stir gently with a fork or small spoon to ensure the add-ins are evenly distributed in each cup.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed and just set in the center. Avoid overbaking, as they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
Let the frittatas cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them using a butter knife or small spatula. Serve warm, or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To reheat, microwave individual frittatas for 15-20 seconds, or enjoy them cold or at room temperature.
