Broccoli and Cheddar Mini Frittatas, Turkey, Style

Turkey, Broccoli and Cheddar Mini Frittatas are the reliable breakfast for busy mornings or lazy breakfasters, like myself.

If there’s one meal during the week that I slack at, it’s breakfast. Four out of seven mornings it’s only me at home (Pat’s off on Fridays) and knowing that a majority of those days I have a whole day (actually) of cooking and dish washing ahead of me, I would tend to reach for a bagel instead of something wholesome and nutritious. Until recently.

A few weeks ago I decided to start weekly meal prepping. I’d spend an afternoon, either Sunday or Monday, making a weeks worth of breakfast and lunches that I can simply reach into the fridge and reheat or eat straight away — hello salads. And I’m certainly addicted to mini frittatas. It’s this my new BFF (breakfast friend forever)!

Making these turkey, broccoli and cheddar mini frittatas in advance is a snap. They only taking 10 minutes to whip up and 20 minutes to bake in the oven! And besides being utterly satisfying, two frittatas is one serving and under 200 calories. They’re a great source of protein keeping you full for longer and can be reheated in 40 seconds!

To Make These Broccoli and Cheddar Mini Frittatas Gather:

• eggs
• broccoli florets
• turkey deli meat
• sharp cheddar cheese
• green onions
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃).

Brush the inside of a standard sized muffin tin with olive oil — about 2 teaspoons total. This will help ensure that the mini frittatas won’t stick.

Crack and add in 6 large eggs to a large mixing bowl. Then, with the remaining 6 eggs, separate the whites form the yolks adding only the egg whites to the bowl. Save the yolks to make mayo or crème brûlée?!

Now simply whisk the egg and egg whites together until combined well.

Next add in 1-1/2 cup small broccoli florets, 2 ounces grated sharp cheddar, 4 ounces diced turkey deli meat, 1/3 cup sliced green onions and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

And then stir to combine.

Fill the prepared muffin pan with about 1/4 cup of the mixture per slot and bake in your preheated 350° oven for 20 minutes.

These smell standout!! The turkey broccoli and cheddar mini frittatas should be fluffy and soufflé-like but will deflate as they cool.

You’ll be so glad to have these on hand in the morning. The reliable grab-and-go breakfast.
