Fast Food/Instant Breakfast #alittlebitbetter

Muffin-tin Breakfast Frittatas. 

About 15 minutes to prep (and I'm slow). 25 minutes so cook. Makes 6 servings

You could easily make this vegetarian and dairy-free too. I think the sausage added a lot of flavor (ahem, fat) to these and if you wanted to lighten it up you could nix or sub that out. Also found versions online with egg whites only. Experiment and see what you enjoy and let me know!

This was a breeze and variations on theme will be following. I wrapped in paper towels then tupperware once cooled and put in the fridge. You can enjoy them cold, or warm to taste. This will be breakfast for the rest of the week!

Ingredients: 8 eggs, 1/2c half and half, veggies of choice (4 asparagus stalks, 1/2 red pepper, handful sliced portobellos, 1/2 sweet onion), protein of choice, cheese (optional but delicious - we used shredded Italian 1/3 cup and a few sprinkles of Mediterranean feta), herbs/spices as desired. 

Assembly:

1. Brown sausage in a pan, when nearly finished, add chopped onions and continue to cook until sausage is cooked through and onions are sauteed.

 

2. Meanwhile, chop vegetables of choice. We love chopped asparagus, chopped red peppers, chopped portobello mushrooms. Mix together with a touch salt and pepper and put into a bowl.

 

3. (Optional): Add cheese to veggie mixture. We added a little crumbled feta, and a half cup shredded Parmesan cheese.

 

4. Add meat mixture to veggie bowl and mix everything together. Spoon mixture into coated (I recommend coconut oil to coat) muffin tin.

 

5. Whisk eggs, half and half together lightly. Transfer liquid into the muffin tin. A baster makes it clean and easy.

 

6. Put into pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes (until eggs start to brown slightly). Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes after to cool then transfer to cooling rack.

 

7. Bon appétit!
