Simple & Quick: You’ll have these mini frittatas ready in just about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Irresistible Flavor: The combination of cheesy goodness, fresh veggies, and optional crispy bacon creates a mouthwatering experience.
Eye-Catching Appeal: Fun, vibrant colors make these muffins a feast for the eyes as much as for the taste buds.
Flexible Serving: Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a sneaky snack throughout the day.
Diet-Friendly Options: Feel free to adjust the recipe for gluten-free or dairy-free diets by using suitable substitutes!

Ingredients You’ll Need

6 large eggs: These are the base of our mini frittata, providing structure and protein. Opt for local, farm-fresh eggs if available for the best flavor.
¼ cup milk: Adds creaminess to the egg mixture. You can substitute this with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese: A crowd-pleaser, cheddar adds a rich flavor. Feel free to swap for mozzarella or feta cheese if you prefer.
¼ cup diced bell peppers: Fresh bell peppers introduce a subtle sweetness and a nice crunch. Use a mix of colors for an attractive look, or try zucchini for a different take.
¼ cup chopped spinach: Earthy and nutritious, spinach is a lovely addition that boosts the nutrient profile. You can opt for kale or Swiss chard as alternatives.
¼ cup cooked crumbled bacon (optional): Adds a savory, smoky flavor that complements the eggs. Turkey bacon or sausage works great too!
Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for enhancing all the flavors in the frittata.
Oil or butter for greasing: Ensures that the muffins pop out easily from the tin—don’t skip this step!

How to Make Mini Frittata Muffins with Dill

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). While it warms up, prepare your muffin tin by lightly greasing each cup with oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and ¼ cup of milk until the mixture is frothy. Add in ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese, along with a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.

Add Fillings: Stir in the vibrant diced bell peppers (¼ cup) and chopped spinach (¼ cup). If you’re using bacon, fold in the ¼ cup of cooked crumbled bacon now. This step is where you can really get creative—think about adding herbs or spices for an extra flavor boost!

Bake: Carefully pour the egg mixture into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed up and golden brown around the edges. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!

Storing & Reheating

Once your Mini Frittata Muffins with Dill are cooled, you can store them at room temperature for a day. For longer storage, pop them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you want to keep them for an extended period, freeze them in a single layer and transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until warmed through. Keep in mind that freezing may slightly alter the texture, but a quick reheat will refresh their delicious flavors!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the egg mixture, which can lead to tough frittatas. Just whisk until combined!
For fluffier muffins, use room temperature eggs; they blend easier with the milk and other ingredients.
Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs—smoked paprika or fresh dill can add a zesty touch.
If you like a crispy edge, bake them a few extra minutes until they’re golden brown.
Mini frittata muffins can be made ahead; they taste great either warm or cold.

These Mini Frittata Muffins with Dill are not only a great way to use up leftovers but they also encourage creativity with what you decide to fold into the mixture. They make a delightful breakfast option that you can prep ahead or whip up fresh when you’re feeling inspired.

Now is a great time to try this dish! Whether you want a nutritious breakfast to kickstart your day or a savory snack to keep you energized, these mini frittata muffins won’t let you down. They’re easy to make, delicious, and ready to brighten up your breakfast table!

How can I adjust the recipe for a larger batch?

Simply double or triple the ingredients and bake in multiple muffin tins or in a larger baking dish. Adjust cooking time accordingly, typically adding a few more minutes for a thicker frittata.
