WHY MINI FRITTATAS

A good healthy breakfast is always on my “to-do” list. For some reason, there’s never enough time or enough ideas and I often end up grabbing a less-than-healthy breakfast instead. Our Mini Frittata recipe fuels you up with the goodness of veggies and eggs, with very little prep work and a quick breakfast. In fact, if you need to do the meal prep the day before that will totally work for this recipe!

The beauty of these kale veggie mini frittatas is you can use any veggies you like or have on hand. You can roast them, fry them, boil them, pan-sear them—however, you prefer! You might enjoy red peppers, onions, broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes, olives, or jalapenos. Take your pick! We’ve used kale and sweet potatoes for these and they are so tasty.

MAKING THE BEST MINI FRITTATA RECIPE

To make mini frittatas, tender pan-cooked veggies are arranged in a muffin pan sprayed with cooking spray and a mixture of eggs, herbs, and kale are poured over them. These mini goodness bites are baked and served on whole-grain toast. Top them with a sprinkle of parmesan and more kale—the classic egg breakfast made easy, healthy, and delicious!

Vegetable Frittata

These mini frittatas make the perfect breakfast! They are packed with vegetables, super kale, and eggs! Talking about protein! And they’re a really great way to eat more veggies—an everyday challenge for many! Plus they need a maximum of 20 minutes from start to finish, and even less time if your vegetables are ready beforehand.

Speaking of preparing in advance, if you happen to have a nice vegetable dinner, save some for these kale vegetable mini frittatas! For this easy recipe, you can use any veggies you prefer. Just store them in your fridge until frittata time, then all you’ll need to do is beat up the eggs with kale, herbs, pour and whip up these gorgeous Veggie Mini Frittatas within no time at all!

Keto Frittata

If you want a low-calorie frittata, leave out the egg yolks for a high protein, low carb breakfast. This recipe for Kale Veggie Mini Frittata is packed with proteins! So healthy and great for gluten-free diets if served on gluten-free toasted bread. If you want to make egg bites, just use a mini muffin pan and decrease the baking time.

Ingredients for Mini Frittatas

  • Butter
  • Scallions
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Asparagus Tips
  • Sun-dried Tomatoes
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Kale
  • Basil
  • Parsley
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

HOW TO MAKE A FRITTATA

Before you start, preheat oven to 350º or 375º. In this recipe, I sauté some scallions, sweet potatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and asparagus for 1 minute. Then I lower the heat and cover the skillet for 5 minutes until the veggies are tender.

I find this way to be one of the best methods to cook vegetables without losing their nutrients.

Then I spray the muffin tin cups with nonstick spray, cover the bottoms of the muffin tin with some veggies, and pour the egg mixture of beaten eggs, chopped fresh kale, fresh basil, and parsley on top. Fill the muffin cups almost to the top!

How Long to Bake a Frittata

These Kale Veggie Mini Frittatas bake for 8 minutes or until the eggs are puffy and done. I let them cool for just a minute and then serve them on toasted slices of whole-grain bread, with a nice sprinkle of fresh parmesan and extra chopped kale. If you enjoy meat you can of course serve with bacon slices or sausages for a nice contrast.

Storing the Mini Frittatas

Since frittatas are made with eggs, they do need to be stored in a refrigerator after one or at most two hours at room temperature. You can keep frittatas in an air-tight container in the fridge for at least a couple of days. They can then be served chilled or reheated in the oven or microwave.

Can You Freeze Frittata?

Our Mini Frittatas can be frozen. Use freezer quality storage bags or air-tight storage and freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the oven or thaw to serve chilled or room temperature.

Tips To Make the Mini Frittatas

  • Adding pesto to these Kale Veggie Mini Frittata recipe makes for a nice Mediterranean flavor.
  •  Before baking these Kale Veggie Mini Frittatas, sprinkle them with some grated or crumbled cheese of your choice.
  • Season your mini frittata with your favorite spices and add some chopped cooked chicken or turkey for a non-vegetarian version.
  • Want to make it an extra-light and low-cal breakfast? Why not make it an egg-white kale vegetable mini frittata? Just skip the yolks and use egg whites!
  • You can make this mini frittata recipe in a large skillet and cut it up into wedges. Simply adjust the baking time to 20 minutes or so.

      Hi Linda,
      Serving size is 1 large muffin or 2 standard size muffins. Do you have the large muffin pans ( i.e 6 per pan) or standard size ( i.e 12 per pan)?

      Hi D, It’s about 12-15 mins max depending on how well calibrated your oven is. The frittatas will puff up and won’t jiggle when you shake the pan.

    These look yummy. Two ? – how long do they keep in fridge and could they be frozen. I’m trying to create some recipes to take up to a cottage.

      Hi Margaret, Thanks–they are really yummy! They could be chilled and then warmed up in a low oven (300 degrees F) for a few minutes. I would suggest heating them in a muffin pan (if it’s not much hassle to pack up the muffin pan with you 🙂 ). Enjoy!

    AMOUNT QUESTION ….. YOUR I CUP CAPACITY MUFFIN TIN …… DOES IT HAVE 6 CAVITIES ?

    JUST WONDERED HOW THE RECIPE IS FOR 4 SERVINGS .
    DO WE GO “SHARSIES” & HALVE THE SPARES ???

    THESE LOOK SO SCRUMPTIOUS.

      Thanks so much Toni! I always have my servings set up at 4 because it’s easier for my Nutritional Label Calculator, The 1 cup muffin pan is the large one yes, but the standard size smaller one works beautifully too, even the mini muffin pan would work if you chop up the veggies smaller—those you can gobble up without counting 🙂

    Just a question. Do you use the kale stems and wouldn’t they take the place of the asparagus? I think I would use all of the kale and no asparagus, especially since they are not in season at the same time. I love muffin tin foods and I’m adding this one to my collection.

      Hi Paula, if you like the kale stems–for sure go for it!! 🙂
      I absolutely love muffin and mini serving foods too–so I can bet you will enjoy this 😉

      Hi Jacki–the serving is actually 2 eggs as per the recipe and nutritional table, but however many you would like the serving to be is totally up to you! 😉
