In my attempt to eat better and live a healthier lifestyle I’ve been looking for meals that can be prepared in advance and keeps for a few days. Especially breakfast since a lot of days I hit the snooze button until I have just enough time to get ready and there’s no time to make breakfast. Bad I know, I’m working on being more of an early riser. Anyway, I’ll end up eating a cereal bar which is not filling or buying breakfast which gets expensive. I love a good omelet but that’s just too much work for me on a weekday so I decided to try these Mini Spinach & Mushroom Frittatas which are like bite sized omelets. You can tweak this recipe to add what you want.

Beat the eggs along with the feta cheese, a little salt and pepper, and pour into each muffin well. Try not to overflow. Some Feta will have settled in the bottom so just distribute it to each pan evenly.

Top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Put in the broiler for 2 minutes to slightly brown.

Let cool completely and store in a airtight container. The longest I’ve kept them in the fridge was three days as myself and my little man usually has two a piece. To reheat, pop them in the oven while you take your shower or microwave them for 40 seconds. Either way works well.

Each mini frittata is only 52 calories so feel free to enjoy more than one. I like to enjoy mine with a piece of toast or some crispy hash browns.

Enjoy!
