Mini Frittata Brunch Bar

Breakfast is unlike any other meal. At dinner, or even lunch, it’s too much trouble to make a different dish for everyone. So if one person is eating meat loaf and peas, everyone is eating meat loaf and peas.

But at breakfast, you can have one person eating toast and coffee, one having corn flakes, and a third eating scrambled eggs. No big deal. They’re all quick to fix, so within reason, you can have whatever you want.

Now, brunch isn’t quite breakfast, but it isn’t quite lunch either. So a good brunch menu is a compromise between the free-for-all of breakfast and the one-size-fits-all of dinner. And one way to do that is to make a single dish that everyone at the table can customize to their tastes. Like, for instance, these Mini Frittatas.

Just whisk up some eggs, then offer a choice of add-ins for everyone. For my Mini Frittata Brunch Bar, I had ham, bacon, spinach, broccoli, sausage, cheese, and banana peppers. So we had some mini frittatas with meat, and some without…some heavy on the cheese, some loaded up with veggies. Something in fact, for everyone.

And if you can’t make up your mind, no problem; since these are mini frittatas, you can try two different kinds. So you can have it your way, even if you can’t decide which way that is.

Mini Frittata Brunch Bar

Makes 12 regular sized muffins (suggested serving: 1 per child, 2 per adult)

  • 10 eggs (or for a lighter version – 6 eggs and 4 egg whites)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (optional)
  • a variety of add-ins such as: diced bacon, sausage, broccoli, peppers, spinach, cheese, tomatoes, onions, etc…non stick spray
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prep any add-ins you are going to use. Make sure all meat is already cooked. It’s also best to cut things into small pieces so you don’t have huge chunks siting in your frittatingredients for Mini Frittata Breakfast Bar in small bowls
  2. Whisk together eggs, salt and optional pepper. I say this is optional because some kiddos will think the pepper is too spicy. You know your family, so use your best judgement.eggs being whisked in a mixing bowl
  3. Spray muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill each muffin tin 2/3 the way full with beaten eggs. Add in a couple teaspoons of your favorite add-ins.Mini Frittatas in muffing tin
  4. Bake at350°F for 20 -22minutes (check them at 20 and then keep an eye on them) The frittatas should look puffed up, but set in the middle. Once you remove them from the oven to cool, they will flatten out and look like this.mini frittatas on a piece of parchment paper

  1. There are 10 of us and this looks to be a great idea

    1. YAY! I hope you all love them!

    2. Hi there I was wondering if you can freeze the mini egg frittatas? I would like to make them ahead for the week.
      Thanks

      1. Yes, I have done that many times for easy meal prep!

  2. That sounds mindblowing!!! Fabulous!! Its looking so tempting, feel like having one from your plate. 😀

  3. Spray the tins with petroleum based products then eat it!!! No way!

    1. Hi Cindy! I don’t know what kind of spray you use, but my coconut oil spray only has coconut oil as the ingredient. I hope that helps 🙂

  4. Corey, for some reason this made me think about my junior high days and how much fun this would have been for slumber parties. With six girls, each could have two mini frittatas. Perfect!

      5 stars
      Slumber parties! Great idea!
      Corey, an idea this good can’t just wait for once a week brunch. I’m gonna try it out this Sunday with my preschoolers and cool a couple of their creations in the fridgefor lunchboxes (along with bacon pancakes–how awesome!). Also think this is a brilliant idea for making a variety of finger foods for toddlers, so that each frittata has a diff taste. Thanks!
