Healthy Mini Frittatas

Published May 20, 2022 | Julia Frey (Vikalinka)

Jump to Recipe

These healthy mini frittatas are just the thing for busy mornings because you can make them ahead!

For another breakfast bake, try Overnight Breakfast Casserole with Sausage, Chorizo and Eggs!

I have a long relationship with easy, convenient breakfasts. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always mean that I’m eating the best food to start my day. All too often, the convenient choice is not the one that is good for you.

That’s why I created this easy mini frittata recipe. It’s a great recipe to make in advance so you can grab and go in the morning. Even better, it’s lean and full of nutrients, giving you the perfect start to the day.

And even better still? They fill you up so there are no nagging hunger pangs before it’s time for lunch!

Quick breakfast recipe

These mini frittatas don’t take a lot of time or effort to make. Just twenty minutes hands-on time and the rest in the oven.

And since they last in the fridge, they can be made in advance and eaten through the week. Pop them in a microwave and you’ve got a nutritious breakfast. You can even grab them and eat them on the go since they are baked in a muffin tin and perfectly portable.

How can something simple and so good for you be delicious? I’ll tell you how – eggs, tiny bit of ham, kale sautéed with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes – that’s how!

To make them, lightly cook the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic for a minute over low heat. Then add the kale and steam for five minutes longer.

While that is happening, whisk the eggs with ham, salt and pepper. When the other ingredients are done, take them off the heat and add them to the egg mixture.

Divide them evenly in twelve muffin tins and add to a preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy a weeks worth of breakfasts!

Ingredients
  

  • 10 eggs large
  • 270 g /4 cups kale chopped
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 thick slices of ham or turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Low calorie spray for coating muffin pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 350F/180C.
  • Spray a large pan with low-calorie cooking spray and add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, cook for 1 minute over low heat. Add kale, a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of water, cover with a lid and let it steam for 5 minutes. It should be enough time to soften the kale and for the flavours to blend. Set aside.

  • Evenly divide among 12 muffin cups, preferable silicone ones to avoid sticking.

Leave out the ham for a vegetarian version of this recipe.

    I can’t wait to make these. Think I will add chicken apple sausage to some and broccoli cheddar to others.

    The best thing I ever did for my health was to download the my fitness pal app to my phone. I use it to track all of the food that I eat throughout the day, as well as any exercise that I get.

    Gotta tell you it was a real shocker when I realized how many calories I actually consume in a day😳

    My motto these days is everything in moderation. I used to to deny myself the things that I love like desserts, Pasta and bread with jam. Life is too short to never eat cake so now I have a little bit when I want it and I don’t feel deprived, which keeps me from over indulging🎂

      That’s my philosophy as well, Kimberly! Life is not just about being thin! 🙂

      Oh yes, Tzivia, cheese would be lovely!! I skipped it to save some extra calories but adding it could only improve the recipe. 😉

    These look delicious! I haven’t made this kind of thing for ages, It would save a lot of time in the morning when I’m rushing on the school run.

    Happy belated birthday from me! I am ashamed to say I’ve never thought of having frittata for breakfast… I’ve often made one and had leftovers which I’ve had for lunch but next time I’m having it the morning after for sure. In fact, I’ll even make them as mini ones for this express purpose. I am a changed man! 🙂

    These look delicious! We make something similar to this every Sunday for breakfasts on the go and snacks. They save a lot of time and stop us grabbing junk food.

    I rarely think to make make frittata but I love the look of these mini snack size versions, Julia! I also remember spending a lot of time wondering what life would be like in the new New Millennium, convinced there would be flying cars and other such things like in Back To The Future. I never imagined what it would be like to forty, it seemed so old. Fortunately its not that bad, like they say, its where life begins… xx

    Happy Birthday! These look so good. I have a real savoury tooth and am rubbish at eating breakfast but I could definitely eat these!

    Happy belated birthday! These look like a fantastic snack to keep in the fridge so there’s something quick and healthy to grab when the hunger pangs strike. My tip would be to find an exercise that you actually enjoy doing – I go for a dog walk every day which I love as it gives me a break from the computer screen; and I go bouldering every week which is a fantastic workout but it doesn’t feel like you are doing “a workout” as it is so much fun, and is a mental challenge as much as a physical one!

    Happy birthday!! Sounds like you need to take a vacation! And then a couple of mini vacations throughout the year! I’ve found this really helps me to stop whatever I am doing and really appreciate life and family. And happiness is definitely a key to being healthy. Good luck on your journey and great post!

    I love these frittatas, perfect for breakfast on the go! I find that I exercise as much for my physical health as my mental health… it helps to schedule it into the week, and then I make time for it. Also, I think it helps to do something you love. I love running, but I’ve also added in some yoga and pilates this year for greater strength and flexibility. If you can look forward to your workout, it’s much easier (and more fun!) :).

    According to my husband your 40s is when you pursue your true passion. You may have had a jump start though on that score! I know what you mean about concentrating on everything else but keeping yourself healthy – and it sadly gets harder the older you get. But we can do it!
    I love this recipe – am making it soon as I need something portable and preprepared for breakfast. I will add some oatbran to Dukanify it!

    First, fabulous frittatas! Secondly, happy belated birthday. Without totally outing myself as “old”, I have to say while I met my 40’s with trepidation, they were (so far), the best years yet. There is just something about the wisdom and confidence of age, combined with being still young enough to enjoy it 😉
