Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 4-cup muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Evenly distribute the diced cooked potatoes among the 4 muffin cups, creating a base layer at the bottom of each cup.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the potato layer, ensuring an even distribution in each cup.
- Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over the potatoes and bacon, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
- Top each frittata with shredded cheese, covering the surface evenly.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffy, golden brown, and set in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the frittatas cool in the tin for 5 minutes to help them set.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges of each frittata to loosen, then gently remove them from the muffin tin.
- Garnish with fresh chopped herbs like chives, parsley, or basil before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately as a perfect breakfast or brunch dish.
Tips
- Ingredient Prep: For the best texture, use leftover cooked potatoes and bacon. If you don’t have any, consider baking or frying them in advance to save time.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different types of cheese! Cheddar, mozzarella, or even feta can add a unique twist to your frittatas.
- Herb Infusion: Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil not only enhance the flavor but also add a pop of color. Don’t skip this step!
- Greasing the Tin: Be generous when greasing your muffin tin to ensure that the frittatas release easily. You can also use silicone muffin cups for hassle-free removal.
- Don’t Overfill: Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the frittatas to puff up while baking.
- Serving Suggestions: These frittatas are fantastic on their own, but you can also serve them with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast!
