Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 12 mini frittatas
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Steam or blanch the chopped broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Fold in the diced ham, chopped broccoli, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin tin cup, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the mini frittatas cool in the tin for 5 minutes to help them set and easily release from the pan.
- Gently run a knife around the edges of each frittata and carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh broccoli and high-quality ham. You can even opt for leftover holiday ham for a delicious twist!
- Customize Your Cheese: While shredded cheese adds creaminess, feel free to experiment with different types such as feta, cheddar, or mozzarella to suit your taste.
- Don’t Overfill: When pouring the egg mixture into the muffin tin, fill each cup only about 3/4 full to allow room for the frittatas to rise without spilling over.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your frittatas a couple of minutes before the recommended time. They should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the frittatas to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them. This helps them set and makes them easier to take out without breaking.
- Make Ahead: These mini frittatas store well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go!
