Baby Frittatas, also known as egg bites, are not only petite and cute, but they’re simply delicious. They’re easy to make, super customizable and will become a staple in your morning routine.
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.
The Ingredients
- Eggs
- Milk
- Parmesan cheese
- Asparagus or any green vegetable you love. Kale, Swiss chard, spinach, or broccoli are some of our favorites!
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Kosher salt
How to Make Baby Frittata Egg Bites
- Prep Oven/Muffin Tin: Preheat the oven 375°F. Spray or grease muffin tins (mini or regular sized) with oil or butter.
- Make Frittata Mixture: Whisk the eggs and milk together. Add the cheese, tomatoes and vegetables of choice.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Add a heaping tablespoon of the egg/vegetable mixture to each muffin cup.
- Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes for regular sized muffin tins and 10 minutes for mini, or until eggs are set. Cool and serve.
How to Meal Prep Egg Bites
You can meal prep these delicious egg bites and make your morning even more of a breeze. Here’s how:
- Batch Cook: Cook a couple batches of this recipe. Make different versions if you want so you can vary your mornings with different flavors!
- Freeze: Once your egg bites are cooked and cooled, place them in freezer safe bags or containers and freeze. If properly stored, egg bites can last in the freezer for up the 3 months.
- Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy, grab a couple frozen egg bites, pop them in the microwave on 50% power for a couple minutes or the oven to reheat. You’ll have a hot and delicious breakfast in minutes!
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!
If your family loves this recipe as much as mine do, you should also try this Veggie Filled Frittata or my Ham and Asparagus Quiche! I know your kids will love this recipe. Let me know in the comments what you think and tag me on social media if you make these!

Well done to think of sonithemg like that
What kind of Asparagus? Canned okay or does it have to be fresh? Do they freeze well?
Love these!!
QUICK TIP: I just made these and used (what I thought was a lot of) butter to grease the tins, and it wasn’t quite enough. Be liberal with your greasing! Otherwise, these turned out AWESOME! Can’t wait for my little to wake from nap and see what she thinks! She won’t eat eggs scrambled or otherwise…so fingers crossed!
I made mine with the sundried tomatoes, diced bits of organic turkey meat, and diced up spinach! YUMMMMM~
I made these for lunch today! I tweaked the recipe a bit – traded some of the veggies – they are AMAZING!!! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Funny, I was just thinking about making frittatas for my little girl. She LOVES your spinach & ricotta bites so much I’m sure these will also be a big hit.
Could these be frozen?
yum .. i’ve been making regular sized frittatas since xmas .. but my 4 year old won’t eat them unless there’s nothing but cheese .. last night i found this recipe.. they’re in the oven now (potato and broccoli from last night’s dinner .. with a little bacon and fresh grated parm) i can’t wait until they come out.. thanks for making such wonderful things .. i love your blog!
kaeli’s mom!
Refrigerate up to 3 days 🙂
Do you know if they refrigerate well? If so how long ? Thank you !
Just a small tip. When I made these I used a small bowl with a spout so that the egg mixture poured into each tin without mess. Egg mix comes out pretty quick :o)
I would bake them 5 minutes more 🙂
how much time would i need if i used a large muffin tray? thanks!
a medium rare filet mignon or t-bone steak.
She has instructions in the book- this is my paraphrased version.
remove them from the tin and place them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes, then place in a ziplock bag and put back in the freezer. Warm them in the microwave from frozen for a minute (add more time as needed).
Could these be frozen once cooked? How would you reheat them?
