What You Need to Make this Recipe
Feel free to swap out your preferred veggies and spices of choice in this part.
Also, if you have a dairy allergy, you can use a dairy-free milk and cheese here as well.
How to Make this Recipe
Preheat oven to kick this off!
Steps 1 + 2: Then begin by sautéing the oil with the garlic and veggies in a sauté e pan.
Steps 3 + 4: Whisk the eggs, milk, and spices in a large bowl, then add in the cooked veggies and cheese.
Step 5: Portion into individual muffin tins (recipe will yield 6 to 8) and bake for 30 minutes (or until safe internal temperature is reached.)
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. You can carefully take the silicon muffin holders out of the muffin tin to speed up cooling.
Then serve, warm, as desired! On days we have more time to sit down, we serve with whole grain toast and breakfast sausage!
Recipe Notes
- If you want to make these Southwestern Egg Frittatas a full meal for a dinner or guests, then bake this in a cast iron skillet! Plus, it’s a mess free clean up!
- I prefer using silicon muffin liners for egg recipes. They make popping the frittatas out of the liner SO MUCH EASIER! You can get them off Amazon for under $10!
