Egg Frittata Muffins
Last night PB decided to drive here so he could miss today’s Labor Day traffic. Even though he wasn’t going to arrive until 1 AM, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep, so what did I do? Cook, of course! (Well, after vacuuming and polishing my floors and rearranging furniture).
My inspiration was the “savory turkey bacon egg white mini quiches” I saw on seebriderun.com a few weeks ago. Caitlin has a great concept here.. throw a hodge podge of your favorite egg ingredients into muffin tins and end up with a delicious, healthy, and BEAUTIFUL meal. ohh and it was SO easy! I picture myself making these for my next brunch for sure!
Here’s my version:
Egg Frittata Muffins
Serves 2
Calories/serving: 269
Ingredients:
4 Eggs
2 Egg Whites
1 ugly garden tomato, diced
4 big basil leaves, chopped
2 oz goat cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Beat your eggs + egg whites in a medium size bowl (add a little water or milk to make them fluffier)
3. Add the tomatoes and basil leaves and mix together.
4. Fill each muffin tin 2/3 of the way up.
5. Sprinkle goat cheese over the top of each muffin.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, and then broil for 2-5 minutes until the cheese is nice and golden brown.
My version made 8 muffins. I wanted a big protein punch since this is our lunch for today and I know we aren’t having any protein at dinner (it’s homemade pizza Friday!). If I were to do it for a normal lunch I would probably have used a little milk instead of the extra 2 egg whites.
I just heated this up for 1 minute in the microwave and they were to die for. Also, like Caitlin mentioned in her post here, the possible combinations are endless!
Next time I would use a little shredded mozzarella on top, but I didn’t have any on hand.
Cheers!
i <3 the new site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sabrina,

Hi Sabrina,
I love the new blog setup and the RhodeyGirl Tests feature!
Do you mind if I add you to my blogroll?
I am honored to be on your blogroll :o). Your pretty face has been plastered on my blogroll for a while now hehe.
Haha yay for Blog Roll status!! Thank you soo much!!!
Frittata Muffins sound awesome… I’m always looking for new protein sources! I don’t like eggs much, but I think in muffin form with a crispy crust I might really enjoy them!!!
I still think your collapsed banana bread from the previous post looks delicious!! I’ve done that SOO many times. Banana bread is my favorite EVER…so of course I am always so impatient.
I love hearing about you and PB too…you are adorable! It’s so cute seeing how excited you are! That’s so awesome!!
Take care and have a great long Labor day weekend!!!!!!!!
Such cute muffins! 🙂

Sorry my friends!! I just figured out that I don’t know you make a comment unless I go to manage comments and then approve them. Anyone know how I can shut that feature off and just automaticall approve them all?!?
Linzakins921- thanks thanks!!!
Foodie (fab and delicious food)- yes of course!!! I would love that!
CCV- ooooh thanks!! didn’t know that!
glidingcalm- thanks for all your sweet comments, and definitely try the frittata muffins I bet it would work perfectly as a post ice fuelup! And they don’t really taste eggy if you add fun stuff… I suggest spinach and tomatoes yum yum!
These don’t look too bad! I wish I could find the right breakfast food that my daughter would eat… I hope this is a winner.
