Allow them to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
Tips & Tricks
Prevent Sticking:
Use silicone muffin liners or generously grease the muffin tin with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal.
Even Cooking:
Chop vegetables into small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly within the frittatas.
Pre-Cook Veggies:
Sauté watery vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini before adding them to prevent excess moisture.
Egg Mixture Tip:
Beat the eggs thoroughly with a splash of milk or cream for a fluffier texture.
Flavor Boost:
Add fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or basil for extra flavor, or a pinch of chili flakes for heat.
Make-Ahead Friendly:
These frittatas can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick meal.
