Healthy Mini Mexican Frittatas

Mini Mexican Frittatas are loaded with eggs, cheese and veggies and make the perfect healthy egg breakfast. Once you try this baked healthy frittata recipe, you'll make mini crustless quiche once a week!

How are these mini frittatas healthy?

We love eating eggs for breakfast and this healthy frittata recipe is one of our favorites.

2% milk cheese and the extra veggies lighten this recipe up and make it super healthy. I also used 6 whole eggs and 6 egg whites instead of 12 eggs. The fat content is lowered by using fewer yolks, but you still get the deep yellow color and richness rather than using all egg whites. The Incredible Egg is so good and good for you and it makes making healthy egg breakfasts so easy! 

This mini frittata recipe uses frozen peppers and corn which include vitamins and fiber. I like using the frozen peppers in these egg bites because they so tender, almost like they are partially cooked. I also defrost them along with the corn to make sure the frittatas are not watery.  If you want to use fresh peppers, go ahead. Chop them really fine though as they may be a little more crunchy than the frozen kind.

Ingredients for Mini Fritata Recipe

• Cooking Spray – Spritz the pan before cooking to keep the mini fritata recipe from sticking.
• Eggs – This recipe uses whole eggs and egg whites to keep these lower in fat and cholesterol while still providing the nutritional goodness of egg yolks.
• Sweet Peppers – Chopped and defrosted frozen peppers are perfect for making a quick breakfast.
• Corn – Use defrosted kernel corn or drained canned corn.
• Herbs and Seasonings – Combine kosher salt and onion powder along with dried parsley.
• Hot Sauce – A few dashes of hot sauce add flavor and a bit of heat. Add more or less depending on how much you like.
• Cheese – Use shredded 2% milk Mexican blend cheese or substitute with cheddar if desired.
• Sour Cream and Salsa – Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa to each frittata for serving.

How to Make Mini Frittatas

1. Spray a non stick muffin tin with cooking spray to coat well.
2. Whisk eggs and egg whites then mix in salt, onion powder, hot sauce, peppers, corn and cheese.
3. Divide the egg mixture between the 12 cups and sprinkle with parsley.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 18 to 22 minutes or until eggs are puffy and a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Cool for five to 10 minutes then run a plastic knife around each cup to loosen eggs. Carefully remove with a plastic spatula.
6. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Variations/Substitution

• Eggs – We like a combination of whole eggs and egg whites but you can use all egg whites or all whole eggs if you prefer.
• Add Meat – These vegetarian egg bites are delicious but you can certainly add meat if you are so inclined. Stir in cooked sausage, ham or bacon.
• Spicy – Use pepper jack cheese and chopped jalapeno to make spicy egg bites.

Mini Crustless Quiche Serving Suggestions

I have one word of advice. Serve these Skinny Mini Mexican Frittatas with a small spoon of sour cream and some salsa on the side. Just a bit of sour cream will really made these frittatas have a rich taste and it's the perfect finish for these low carb egg muffins.

I have some fruit salad on the side and I am ready to go. We can always splurge and have waffles on the weekends.
