A brunch recipe which is super easy to make and perfect for those of you who don’t like to do (too much) cooking and cleaning up over the weekend just like me. Each frittata muffin is made up of a hearty breakfast combination – potato, egg, mushroom, cheese, milk and tomatoes – all in a cup. It saves the hassle of preparing/cooking each ingredient separately which involves pan-frying the rösti, omelette, etc. And in a way, it’s actually much more healthy to oven-bake these frittata muffins because there’s no butter and less oil is used. Don’t underestimate these little delights cos’ just 2 or 3 of them are enough to fill you up so a 12-hole muffin pan can comfortably feed a family of 4-5. And if you like to dress the muffins up further, try adding bacon, ham, bell peppers, baked beans and/or all your breakfast favourites. Don’t they sound yummy already? Happy brunching! 🙂
