Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Clean and trim the leek, then slice it thinly.
- Finely chop the broccoli.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of butter and 2 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leek and sauté for about 5 minutes or until it softens and starts to caramelize.
- Add the chopped broccoli and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the vegetables cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs and 3/4 cup of milk until well combined.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables among the 12 muffin cups.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the vegetables in each cup.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top.
- To check if the frittatas are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one; it should come out clean.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the frittatas cool slightly in the tin for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the mini frittatas from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These mini leek frittatas make a perfect breakfast, brunch, or snack!
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly clean the leek to remove any dirt or sand trapped between the layers.
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or silicone muffin cups to make it easier to remove the frittatas after baking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs to the mixture to suit your taste preferences.
- For a lower-fat version, you can substitute the feta cheese with a lower-fat cheese option.
- Allow the frittatas to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin to help them set and hold their shape.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; they can also be frozen for longer storage.
With just a handful of ingredients and straightforward steps, Mini Leek Frittatas offer a quick and healthy meal solution. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or looking for a satisfying bite to start your day, these frittatas are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
