Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 medium zucchini, grated and water squeezed out
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or any cheese you prefer
Other
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the frittatas.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Brush olive oil into every muffin tin hole to prevent sticking and set the tin aside.
- Prepare Zucchini: Grate the medium zucchini finely, then squeeze out the excess water using a strainer or cheesecloth to avoid soggy frittatas.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini with parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add the 6 eggs and whisk vigorously until the mixture is well blended and uniform.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the egg and zucchini mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Then sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese) on top of each portion.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and no longer jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Remove: Remove from the oven and let the frittatas cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes. Carefully take them out before they cool completely to avoid breaking, as they will firm up and become harder to remove when fully cooled.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini to prevent the frittatas from becoming watery.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or any other cheese available.
- These frittatas are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives to enhance the flavor.
