Breakfast Frittatas - 140 calories



These were super easy to make. Also worked well keeping them in the refrigerator and popping them in the microwave for about 25 seconds.


Baked in individual muffin cups so everyone can personalize the mix-ins they like.

Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
Assorted mix-ins (such as shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked and chopped bacon, ham, or sausage)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
The calories are based on the ingredients I used (diced ham, spinach & cheddar cheese) I put the spinach in the food processor and used about 1/2 Tbs of spinach, 1/2 Tbs of ham and a Tbs of cheese

Instructions
Heat your oven to 350ยบ F and coat a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and salt in a medium bowl, then evenly distribute the egg mixture among the muffin cups.
Add about 2 tablespoons of mix-ins to each cup, then sprinkle on a bit of Parmesan cheese, if you like.
Bake the frittatas until they are puffy and the edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. (If necessary, run a butter knife around the edge of each one to loosen them before removing them from the pan.) Makes 6 mini frittatas about 140 calories each.
