Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) cooked ham, diced (Black Forest or honey ham recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or Swiss)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Butter or non-stick spray for greasing
  • Optional: diced bell peppers or spinach
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or smoked paprika
  • Optional: substitute Greek yogurt for milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Dice 1/2 cup (75 g) cooked ham and thinly slice 2 green onions. If using, chop optional veggies finely.
  4. Fold the ham, cheese, green onions, and any optional veggies into the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine without overmixing.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into each mini muffin cup filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Check for doneness by gently shaking the pan; frittatas should be set and spring back lightly.
  7. Let the frittatas rest for about 5 minutes after baking. Use a butter knife or offset spatula to loosen edges and remove from the tin.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Do not overfill muffin cups to avoid spills. Grease muffin tin generously to prevent sticking. Check frittatas early to avoid overcooking. Can substitute milk with Greek yogurt for creaminess. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives. Freeze leftovers wrapped individually for up to one month.
