Why You’ll Love These Mini Frittata Muffins

  • Meal prep perfection – Make a batch on Sunday and enjoy all week.
  • Customizable – Add whatever veggies, meats, or cheeses you have on hand.
  • Kid-friendly – A sneaky way to get more veggies into your kids’ meals.
  • Healthy and hearty – Full of protein, low in carbs, and completely satisfying.
  • Portable – Great for lunchboxes or commuting breakfasts.

Can I Use Egg Whites Only for These Mini Frittatas?

Absolutely! You can substitute whole eggs with egg whites if you’re looking to cut back on fat and cholesterol. Just keep in mind that egg whites alone may make the texture a bit more airy and less rich. If you’re using only egg whites, you’ll need about 2 egg whites for every whole egg. You can also use a combination of whole eggs and egg whites to maintain some of that creaminess while still lightening things up.

Ingredients for the Mini Frittata Muffins

Each ingredient in these mini frittata muffins plays an important role in making them flavorful, fluffy, and nutritious.

  • Eggs – The main ingredient and the structure base. Use large eggs for the best texture.
  • Milk – Helps make the eggs lighter and fluffier. Whole or 2% milk works best.
  • Bell Peppers – Adds crunch, sweetness, and vibrant color.
  • Broccoli Florets – Brings a boost of fiber and a subtle earthy flavor.
  • Cheddar Cheese – Melts beautifully and adds savory depth.
  • Salt & Pepper – Essential for enhancing all the other flavors.
  • Olive Oil or Cooking Spray – Prevents the muffins from sticking to the tin.

How To Make the Mini Frittata Muffins

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Chop the Veggies

Dice your bell peppers and chop the broccoli into small florets. If you prefer, give the broccoli a quick steam to soften slightly before adding.

Step 3: Whisk the Eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Assemble the Muffins

Divide the chopped vegetables evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the veggies. Pour the egg mixture over each cup, filling about 3/4 full.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin.

How to Serve and Store Mini Frittata Muffins

These mini frittata muffins are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven, but they’re also incredibly convenient for make-ahead meals. Perfect for breakfast, brunch spreads, or mid-day snacks, they feed about 4 to 6 people depending on appetite and serving size.

To store, let the muffins cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months — just wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.


What to Serve With Mini Frittata Muffins?

Fresh Fruit Salad

A mix of berries, melon, and citrus adds natural sweetness and balances the savory muffins.

Toast with Avocado

Crispy toast topped with smashed avocado and a sprinkle of chili flakes makes a hearty pairing.

Green Side Salad

A simple salad with lemon vinaigrette keeps things light and refreshing.

Breakfast Potatoes

Crispy roasted or skillet potatoes complement the soft, eggy muffins beautifully.

Greek Yogurt with Honey

Add a touch of sweetness and protein with a bowl of yogurt drizzled in honey and topped with nuts.

Smoothie or Juice

A green smoothie or fresh orange juice is a great way to complete the meal with hydration and nutrients.

Muffins or Scones

For brunch gatherings, offer a sweet baked good alongside these savory bites.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze these mini frittata muffins?
Yes! Once fully cooled, wrap each muffin individually and place them in a zip-top freezer bag. They keep well for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave straight from frozen for 30-60 seconds or warm them in a 350°F oven.

Can I add meat to this recipe?
Definitely. Crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, or diced ham are all great options. Just be sure your meats are fully cooked before mixing them into the muffin cups.

How do I keep them from sticking to the pan?
Use a nonstick muffin tin and coat each cup generously with olive oil or nonstick spray. Silicone muffin molds are another great stick-free option.

Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, swap the milk for a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk, and use your favorite plant-based cheese or skip the cheese altogether.
