Mini Breakfast Frittatas
These mini breakfast frittatas are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast in the morning. What could be simpler than popping one of these into the microwave and then eating it on a mini whole wheat bagel?
Yes, these are a perfect grab-and-go breakfast food. Easy to make. Store. Grab & go. Of course, this all assumes your kids like eggs! My kids are not yet big egg eaters. They love pancakes that I make with extra eggs, french toast made with eggs, and just about any other item with eggs in it. But when eggs are the main ingredient, they are not so sure.
And my husband would love these, but I’m lucky if I can hand off his to-go mug of tea as he races out the door in the mornings. (Ok, I admit, if I had a parchment-wrapped egg sandwich ready to go for him, he would be really happy!)
So as I’m doubting whether I should even bother making my ideal little frittatas filled with spinach and goat cheese, I realize that maybe I could entice my kids to try one if I put some Canadian bacon in there…and yes, leave out the spinach and goat cheese (just for now). Maybe…
I decided to make two batches. One with spinach and goat cheese and one with Canadian bacon and Monterey Jack cheese. The verdict?
My older son decided to give the Canadian bacon-filled one a try….and liked it! My younger son smelled it and agreed it smelled good (baby steps!), but wasn’t ready to taste. I liked both but definitely preferred the spinach and goat cheese one as that’s just my preference these days. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to make a batch of each! (Or why not combine all the ingredients and make an “everything frittata.”)

So, if you are looking for a high-protein, delicious breakfast food that you can make ahead, give these a try. Add a little turkey sausage or bacon if you think that will draw your kids in. You could even pack these in the lunch box – if your kids don’t mind eating them cold.
