Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, diced (cremini or button)
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture and half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
6. Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each cup.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata cups are puffed and lightly golden on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Note: Feel free to customize the vegetables by adding bell peppers, zucchini, or any favorite herbs!

To ensure your frittata cups come out fluffy, avoid overmixing the egg mixture. If you’re short on time, you can use pre-chopped vegetables or leftover cooked mushrooms and spinach.

These frittata cups can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave for a quick meal, or enjoy them cold as a refreshing snack!
