It’s already pretty clear that I love frittatas. After all, not only are they delicious, but you can throw in just about anything and they come out amazing!
However, with my schedule, making a frittata for breakfast would be something that could only be done on the weekend — because although they are a snap to put together, you do still have to wait a bit for them to bake and cool.
Of course, that’s brings me to yet another wonderful thing about frittatas: they are equally nommy cold or at room temperature. So, you can easily make them ahead of time for a packed lunch, potluck, or picnic.
Still, sometimes I am so frantic in the mornings that even dishing out a serving of leftovers can be too time consuming (it’s sad, but true).
The solution? The nommy goodness of a frittata in a cute, portable little muffin!
