Looking for a make-ahead breakfast recipe that you can take with you as you scoot out the door? Great for kids and adults, you can bake these bite-sized frittatas in a miniature muffin pan. They taste great hot or at room temperature, so you can make a big batch in advance.
(Note: Fritattas are a great “left over” recipe, too. Add in last night’s vegetables, potatoes or protein. Yum!)
