Mini Veggie Frittatas

It is a new year and I am realizing that it is time to get healthy. That begins with a good breakfast that is not bad for you and still tastes yummy!!! I created this recipe while trying to accomplish that goal. This recipe is versatile by changing the veggies around, adding lean meat or by adding different seasonings. They are truly easy to make and only 45 calories each because it is made mostly with egg whites!!! I hope that you enjoy them as much as we do. Excuse the picture, they go so quickly when I make them that I haven't gotten a decent picture yet.




Mini Veggie Frittatas 

1 cup diced veggies (I used onion, yellow and red bell pepper)
1/4 cup diced fresh mushrooms
6 egg whites
3 whole eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup of shredded cheese
cracked black pepper and sea salt to taste
olive oil (non stick) spray

Heat oven to 350.
Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with olive oil spray and set aside.
In a saute pan spray with olive oil spray on med high saute your veggies until tender crisp.



Toss in mushrooms for about 1 minute then remove from heat and cool them down a little.
In a bowl mix together egg whites, eggs and seasonings, mixing until blended.
Add cheese and veggies and mix well. 
Fill each muffin tin about 3/4 full.


Bake for about 15 minutes (until toothpick comes out clean)

Thanks!!!
