Ingredients
6 eggs
100ml milk
50g grated cheddar cheese
85g chopped mixed vegetables (peppers, courgette, spinach, tomatoes etc.)
Salt and pepper (optional)
Olive oil or butter
Method
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a muffin tin with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Add the finely chopped mixed vegetables to a frying pan with some olive oil. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and then leave to cool. If you’re using cooked leftover vegetables, you can skip this part.
In a mixing bowl or large jug, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper (optional).
Stir in the grated cheese and chopped vegetables into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the frittatas are puffed and golden on top.
Once done, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Use a spoon or knife to gently lift them out of the tin.
Serve these mini cheese and vegetable frittatas as a delightful snack or a healthy addition to lunchboxes!
