Assorted egg muffins breakfast recipe: easy mini frittata bites you’ll love
A super easy recipe for breakfast egg muffins, perfect to use up leftovers!
Egg muffins or mini frittata muffins are an easy and delicious breakfast dish.
Super quick and simple to make, they are a great way to add protein and veggies to your breakfast and they also work well as a brunch staple, appetizer or lunchbox filler as they are delicious hot or cold.
You can make egg muffins with pretty much anything you have so they are also a fantastic leftover recipe.
I just made them today and my tray had some with spinach, some with green beans, some with tomatoes and some with smoked salmon – basically, a lot of items I had in the fridge and needed to use quick!
This is how I made them.
Egg muffins Ingredients
These quantities make a tray of 12 standard size muffins.
- 6 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small cherry tomato per muffin
- A small slice of smoked salmon, copped into small pieces
- 1 green bean per muffin, chopped
- 1 sugar pear per muffin
- 1 teaspoon of cottage cheese
- A dash of olive oil to grease the muffin tray
As you can see, these are tiny amount of vegetables and ingredients per muffin as the recipe is for an assorted tray (and made with leftovers!). Of course, you can use each of these ideas as a standalone recipe and make a full tray of one type muffin, each is delicious!
Method
Turn the oven on and bring it to 180C / 356F temperature.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a a dash of salt and a little bit of black pepper.
Take a muffin tray and grease eat slot with olive oil. Add a small amount of your vegetables / salmon to each muffin slot, then pour over each a little bit of egg misture: I use a ladle to avoid spillages.
Once the whole mixture is used, put the tray in the oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes or until the eggs are thoroughly cooked. The muffins will naturally rise and come out as delicious, fluffy mini frittatas!
