Variations
Try different fillings according to whats available or fresh and in season, adding in any of these:

Wedge pan
We use our favourite cast iron wedge pan which makes 8 perfectly cooked frittata wedges. The eggs puff up beautifully and as the pan heats up the frittatas cook uniformly.
If you don’t have a wedge pan, a greased muffin tray would also work.
Storing leftovers
These mini frittatas will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm on a low heat or bring to room temperature before serving.
Layer in a sealed container with parchment paper between them so they don’t stick together, and freeze for up to a month.
Thaw and then warm on low heat or enjoy at room temperature.

📋 Recipe
Mini Frittatas
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium clove garlic chopped
- 75 g red bell pepper ½ cup, diced, seeds and stem removed
- 6 medium or large eggs
- 30 g cheddar cheese ⅓ cup, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan/350°F, and grease a wedge baking pan or muffin tray and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 medium clove garlic to a small saucepan and sauté garlic on medium heat till light golden. Add 75 g red bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes till peppers have softened. Remove from heat and set aside. (Skip this step if using your own choice of fillings.)
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 6 medium or large eggs, 30 g cheddar cheese, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Mix in cooked peppers and garlic or, if making frittatas with different fillings pour the egg mixture directly into the pan and add different ingredients of your choice. Fill each section ¾ way to the top to leave room to rise.
- Bake for 20 minutes till the frittatas have puffed up and cheese has melted. Cool in the pan before turning out. Serve warm or at room temperature.
