Mini Frittatas
I love to have easy and healthy breakfast options on hand for busy mornings. These egg frittata muffins are a favorite, as well as overnight oats, no-bake breakfast cookies and zucchini chocolate chip muffins.
I started making these mini egg frittatas back when I did my first round of Whole30. While I love to make a big frittata recipe, this mini version makes the perfect grab and go breakfast for crazy mornings because they can be made ahead of time.
Why I Love This Recipe
- Great for meal prep. Make a big batch of these mini frittata muffins to enjoy throughout the week. They are a great packed with protein grab & go breakfast!
- Customizable: You can easily customize these mini frittatas with other veggies and meats, but our favorite combination is sweet bell peppers with ground sausage.
Mini Frittata Recipe Ingredients
What I love about these muffin tin eggs are how easy they are to customize. Use the same egg base, but easily swap out the veggies and meats to what you have on hand.
- Eggs: I love to whisk together 6 large eggs and 6 large egg whites. If you would prefer not to use egg whites, simply whisk together 10 large eggs.
- Seasonings: I typically keep it simple and just use salt and pepper, but you could also add a dash of garlic powder, paprika or cumin. Fresh parsley would be great!
- Veggies: Feel free to use vegetables of choice! My go-to’s are chopped red bell peppers, onion and spinach, although diced cooked potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli or zucchini would taste delicious.
- Meat: I like to add meat based on what I have on hand when I make these breakfast egg muffins. Crumbled breakfast sausage, bacon or diced ham all work great.
Variations
- For a fun variation, add a layer of crispy hash browns on the bottom of each muffin cup to turn these into hash brown egg cups. The potatoes add a nice crunch and taste delicious with the egg filling!
- Add some cheese. I love Parmesan cheese or feta cheese, but any variety would work. Just remember while cheese is low in carbs it is not Whole 30.
How to Make Mini Frittatas
- Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a non-stick or silicone muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Whisk eggs and add in remaining ingredients. Whisk the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Then add in peppers, onions, spinach, cooked sausage and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour into muffin tin. Pour mixture into each muffin cup, leaving about 1/4″ from the top.
- Cook frittatas. Cook in the oven for 23-30 minutes, or until egg has puffed up and comes clean with a toothpick.
- Remove and enjoy! Run a knife around the edges to pop the egg frittatas out. Enjoy while hot!
TIP: A silicone muffin pan will be your best friend when making these! I’ve found that they tend to stick less. However still definitely make sure you spray the silicone tin with nonstick spray!
How Do You Tell When Egg Frittatas Are Done?
When the mini frittatas are done, they will have puffed up and should be solid to touch. And when you wiggle the muffin tin, the eggs shouldn’t move and there should be no liquid.
You can also test with a toothpick as well. Simply poke a toothpick in the center of one of them. The toothpick should come out clean with no egg residue on the sides.
How to Store Mini Egg Frittatas
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Wrap individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer bag. Store in freezer for up to 1 month.
- To reheat: If frozen, defrost in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until warm throughout.

Hello! This looks amazing! Just to confirm you can add raw sausage to it and it will cook it and cook it in the oven? That would sure make it quicker. Thanks so much!!
Hi Dawn! I always cook my sausage first before adding to the egg mixture. :)
Love the recipe!!! Do you happen to have the nutritional content? Thanks!
Hi Amanda! Thank you! I’m afraid I don’t, but there’s a lot of webpages that will quickly do that for you :)
Hey Jamielyn,
I made this delicious recipe this morning! Thanks so much for the fantastic recipe. Also, I will be posting a similar recipe on my blog today, with a few add-ins and differences that I did, but I will be sure to acknowledge your site as the basis of my recipe. Thank you so much! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Do you think a mixture of half eggs/half egg white would work in this recipe?
Yes, definitely!
How do you reheat these?
30 seconds in the microwave works for me. :)
These look great! I usually eat a 2 egg and veggie omlette in the morning but these looks way easier!
Can these be frozen?
Yes! Defrost in the fridge overnight! They’d be delicious!
These are great! Made them this morning and my daughter loved them! And so did I! Thanks for sharing :)
Do you use a mini size muffin pan or regular muffin size pan?
We used a standard size muffin pan. :)
Does the bacon have to be already cooked?
If you are adding bacon, it does need to be pre-cooked. It won’t have the proper time and environment to cook thoroughly in the muffin pan.
Great recipe! Loving every bite. I did everything as directed except I cooked it in a bread pan…I don’t have the patience for muffin tins. ?
Could these be frozen to last longer than 5 days?
Yes! I’d freeze and wrap individually, then defrost each one as needed. :)
When these are frozen does the texture change at all?
It changes a little bit, but still tastes great! :)
i made these this weekend while we were gone for a quick getaway at a friend’s cabin … absolutely delish … total repeat!!!! thank you for sharing … julie c in boise
Oooh I can’t wait to try these! I’m due in less than a month and a half, and I’m looking for easy things to make and freeze for my son and I to eat- these look great!
These look delicious! I will definitely be trying my hand at this recipe. Thank you for sharing it!
these are perfect for a quick breakfast on the run! or to serve for brunch. love it!
What kind of sausage do you like to use? Just curious! :)
I like to use something sugar-free when I’m doing Whole30, but honestly there’s not many sausages I’ve met that I don’t like. :) My favorite, though, is Chicken Maple links chopped up and added.
These fritatas look delicious! They’re one of our favorite weeknight meals!
