Ingredients

Adjust Servings: 1

• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 medium tomato
• Handful of basil
• 2/3 cup cut up fresh mozzarella
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Dash of black pepper
• Oil to spray muffin tin

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prep everything for smoother cooking. Peel and dice the tomato, chop the basil, and dice the fresh mozzarella.
2. In a bowl, add the eggs along with the milk and whisk to combine.
3. Add the diced tomato, basil, cheese, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
4. Spray a muffin tin with oil and pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup.
5. Optional step: Place the muffin tray on a larger baking tray and add a little boiling water to the baking tray. This helps create steam and can prevent the egg bites from getting watery.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until set and lightly golden on top.
7. Cool for 15 minutes before removing the egg bites from the tin and serve.

Storage Notes

Store cooled frittatas in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave until warmed through. They’re perfect for make-ahead breakfasts and quick snacks.
