Muffin tin frittatas

Mini egg frittata also called breakfast egg cups or muffin tin frittatas are filled with bell peppers, ham and cheese. But you can use any of your favorite ingredients to make these eggs.

On Sunday, I ran a half marathon. A girl's got to do something when she makes three batches of apricot sweet rolls, raspberry brownies, and peach ice cream. 

I have gone a bit overboard with all these sweets, and at the rate I've been going I probably should have run the full marathon and really burned some calories. However, since I didn't do a whole lot of training, a half was more than enough!

The trail was on an old railroad. The track has been removed and a beautiful trail is left in its place. It was a downhill marathon 🙂 Now don't go thinking that the run was easy! Not at all.

I really don't know if I would have known that it was downhill. It was very gradual.

However, the part that hurts the worst on me are my quads (downhill muscles!) Every time I go down the steps in my house, my legs are screaming!

We had to travel about 350 miles to the race. That meant spending the night in a hotel so we could rise bright and early to make the shuttle bus to the start. Figuring out what to eat before any race is always challenging, but when you aren't at home it is extra challenging.

I made mini frittatas, or egg muffins at home and took them with us. On the morning of the race, we warmed them up in the microwave and ate them up. They were delicious and gave us the fuel we needed for the race!

Key ingredients

• Eggs - Use fresh eggs or you could use an egg product like Egg Beaters. This would also be a great recipe to use frozen eggs! Just let them fully thaw before using.
• Milk - I use 2% or whole milk. You can use any type of milk. The milk helps make the eggs just a bit creamier
• Cheese - Use you favorite type of shredded cheese. I use cheddar, but you could use pepper jack, colby, or even a smoked gouda!
• Add-ins - What you add to the frittata is totally up to you! You could leave plain and just add the cheese. My favorite is a bit of ham and red bell pepper. Some other delicious ideas are cooked bacon or sausage, finely chopped spinach, chopped tomatoes or sun dried tomatoes, black olives, or sauteed mushrooms!
• Seasoning - This recipe just uses salt, pepper and paprika. Feel free to add your favorite dried or fresh seasoning.

Step by step directions

• Place eggs, milk and seasoning together in a large bowl. Whisk until well mixed

• Pour into greased muffin tins
• Add cheese, ham and pepper

• Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until the eggs are cooked through
• Remove from muffin tin right away. You may need to use a silicone spatula to help release the eggs from the sides.

• Top with freshly chopped parsley and more chopped bell peppers, optional
• Serve hot or at room temperature

Recipe tips

• Pour mixed eggs into a large measuring cup to easily pour into muffin tin
• Try not to overfill the muffin tins. The eggs will expand and rise while they are baking. Fill no more than ¾ of the way full.
• As the eggs cool, they will deflate
