Why I Love Baby Frittatas

  • Quick and Easy Mornings: Baby Frittatas are a lifesaver for busy mornings. Especially when you have a batch of these prepped in your freezer ready to go!
  • Versatile and Customizable: One of the best things about these little egg bites is that they’re a blank canvas for your favorite flavors. Whether you want tons of veggies or meat and cheese, these baby frittatas are able to be customized to whatever suits your tastes every morning.
  • Nutrient-Packed: Beyond their deliciousness, these baby frittatas pack a nutritional punch. Every baby frittata has protein from the egg, two vegetables and a dairy so you can feel good about feeding these to your toddlers (and your adults)! They’re totally family friendly.

Baby Frittatas for Toddlers

This recipe was born with my kids in mind. I wanted to give them something delicious and healthy that was also perfectly sized for their little hands. Making a frittata in a muffin tin was the perfect answer! This recipe is so easy to make that I would make it several times a week when my kids were babies. They loved these frittatas and couldn’t get enough! They’re a great finger food for toddlers, and since they’re made with real food, your older kids (or parents!) will love them too! You can have them for any meal of the day!

Egg Bites Flavor Variations

  • Mediterranean Style: Sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and spinach. YUM!
  • Southwest-Inspired: Bell peppers and onions, Monterrey jack cheese, and a pinch of cumin for a “spicy” twist.
  • Caprese: Tomatoes, basil and mozzarella for a Caprese inspired egg bite. Or make a whole Caprese Quiche!

  1. I can’t figure out what I did wrong. Mine puffed up HUGE in the oven and then deflated to empty shells of air when I took them out. Over-cooked? Over-beaten? Not beaten enough? I expected these to be a bit dense like a quiche rather than hollow like Yorkshire pudding. Help please! :o)

  2. I love this recipe. And I have adapted it several ways using leftover veggies and the plethora of mild chiles from our garden. A little bit of chopped steak or bacon and my husband is in heaven…
    Thank you!

  3. I’m really curious about freezing also! I’d love to keep these in the freezer for morning when we in a rush. Have you tried freezing them? How would you suggest reheating? THANKS!!!!

  4. I just made these with baby spinach and shredded zucchini and they are great! You just need to squeeze the water out of the zucchini.

  5. these are awesome! I used a silicone mold similar to the one seen in the video and added a little prosciutto for fun.

  6. Going to try these tonight for a quick dinner, going to sub sautéed onion and finely chopped broccoli, we’ll see how they go over with the kiddos!
