Mini Frittata Muffins Recipe

These frittata muffins are my solution to a longstanding problem: all the best grab-and-go breakfasts are sweet. Don’t get me wrong, banana bread, scones, chia pudding, and breakfast cookies are all delicious. But if you’re anything like me, sometimes, you’re craving a savoury breakfast, and you don’t have time to cook eggs. You wish that there was a tasty, protein-packed option that you could take with you as you headed out the door. Enter: this frittata muffin recipe.

Packed with fresh veggies and eggs, these mini frittata muffins have become my favourite meal prep breakfast recipe. They’re great straight from the oven, but they keep well in the fridge for a few days too. Enjoy one (or two or three) for a quick breakfast at home, or pack them up for a meal or snack later on. Savoury breakfast = solved.

Mini Frittata Muffins Recipe Ingredients

Eggs and dill are some of my favourite combinations, so I used them as a starting point for this frittata muffin recipe. Then, I added these key ingredients:

– Almond milk. It’s my go-to, but soy milk or cow’s milk would work here as well.
– Garlic and scallions. Together, they add a savoury, oniony bite.
– Dijon mustard. It gives these egg muffins a tangy depth of flavour.
– Kale. I couldn’t resist adding some for extra veggie power!
– Cherry tomatoes. I LOVE tomatoes and dill together – their sweet, acidic flavour is delicious here.
– Feta. A sprinkle of cheese is the perfect creamy, tangy accent for the fresh veggies and herbs.

Egg Frittata Muffins Variations

We love making these mini frittatas with tomatoes, scallions, kale, and dill, but I also make them with different veggies depending on what’s in season and what I have on hand. Feel free to do the same! Here are a few ideas to change them up:

– For a fall variation, use roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash instead of the cherry tomatoes and minced sage instead of dill.
– In the spring, skip the tomatoes and kale, and add blanched or roasted asparagus and thawed frozen peas.
– Swap the cherry tomatoes for roasted red peppers or diced orange or yellow bell peppers.
– Roast the tomatoes instead of leaving them raw.
– Use grated cheddar cheese or goat cheese instead of feta.
– Swap the dill for fresh basil.

Lemon meringue scones recipe

Lemon meringue scones recipe. Swap your regular scones for something a bit different: this easy, retro recipe inspired by lemon meringue pie.

Ingredients (10)

– 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust
– 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
– 60g butter, chilled, chopped
– 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
– 250ml (1 cup) lemonade
– 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice
– 25g bought mini meringues, finely crushed
– 160ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream, whipped
– 130g (1/2 cup) bought lemon curd
– Icing sugar, to dust

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift the 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust into a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar. Use your fingertips to rub the 60g butter, chilled, chopped into the mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind. Make a well in the centre.

Step 2

Pour the 250ml (1 cup) lemonade into the well. Use a flat-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture just begins to hold together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until just smooth. Shape dough into a 2cm-thick disc. Use a round 6cm-diameter pastry cutter dipped in extra flour to cut 12 rounds from the dough, re-shaping offcuts as needed. Place the scones, slightly apart, on the prepared tray. Bake for 17 minutes or until golden and scones sound hollow when tapped on top.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place the 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice and remaining sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Boil for 3-4 minutes or until thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Use a serrated knife to slice the warm scones in half horizontally. Brush the tops of the scones with the syrup then sprinkle with 25g bought mini meringues, finely crushed. Top the scone bases with 160ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream, whipped and 130g (1/2 cup) bought lemon curd then sandwich with the scone tops. Serve dusted with Icing sugar, to dust.
