I love a quick breakfast, & these frittata egg cups are easy, healthy, and really simple to make. They combine fresh veggies, & eggs (I use egg whites) cooked in a wonton wrapper which makes them super portable for on the go breakfast.
What is a frittata? How do you make it into a muffin?
Basically, a crustless quiche with vegetables, meats and cheeses! ‘Frittata’ is an Italian word that roughly translates to ‘fried’.We make ours in a cupcake pan with wonton wrappers to make it portable!
To start:
- Wash & prep your veggies (I used what I had readily available in my refrigerator).
- Set the veggies aside.
- Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray, then 1 wonton wrapper, followed by another. We use 2 wonton wrappers with a small layer of of cheese between them to make them sturdy.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of chopped vegetables to each muffin, then fill with egg whites. Top with remaining shredded cheese if desired.
- Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Once baked, allow them to cool and transfer them to a platter. I like to refrigerate them in a large ziplock bag once they’ve cooled. Sometimes I wrap them individually for on the go purposes.
Egg Muffins can be made with any filling you like! Here are some ideas.
- Cheese: Cheddar, gruyere, shredded mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, even blue cheese would be delicious.
- Vegetables: Red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, corn, eggplant, avocado, potatoes (or frozen hash browns), onions, asparagus, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes.
- Protein: Sausage, ham, turkey, leftover rotisserie chicken, bacon.
- Herbs/Spices: Basil, garlic, parsley, cilantro, paprika, red chili flakes, oregano.
- How long do frittata muffins keep for?
- These frittata muffins keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
- How do I eat egg muffins? Cold or warm?
- They are delicious either way! If you want to reheat them, place them in a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
