Worth keeping nothing more than to wake up and breakfast is already made. This happens never, unless I prep a batch of mini frittatas. Since you guys loved the turkey broccoli and cheddar version I made a few years ago, I was inspired to recreate a similar recipe but this time using my go-to omelet ingredients.

The usual cast of characters in a western omelet is ham, peppers, onions and cheese. And these mini western omelet frittatas are no different.

I first tested this dish last December when I had a lot of leftover ham from the holiday to use up. And OH. MY. GOSH. were these a hit! Everyone at the table would wake up and pop two in the microwave to reheat. I think they like to have breakfast already made simply as much as I do.

To make these Mini Western Omelet Frittatas Set out:

eggs
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
red pepper flakes
diced ham
red bell pepper
Swiss cheese
green onions

And if I was to make these only for myself, I would add a 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms. So yum!

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃).

Crack 6 whole large eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the remaining 6 eggs, adding in the whites to the bowl and saving the yolks for another purpose.

Season with a half teaspoon of kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.

Whisk until combined.

Then add in 1 cup diced (cooked) ham, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese and 1/3 cup of sliced green onion. If adding sliced mushrooms, you’ll need 1/2 cup as well.

Stir to combine.

Measure and divide the egg mixture among a muffin pan that has been sprayed with non-stick olive oil spray.

Bake in your preheated oven on the middle rack for 18 to 20 minutes.

Allow to cool, before using a spatula and removing.

Everything you love about a western omelet in a smaller, make-ahead frittata! Flavor-packed as is or with hot sauce!
