These mini frittatas are so versatile, you will love them! You can eat them as is for a delicious breakfast, or you can use them to make the best breakfast sandwich. I love to put a mini frittata in the middle of a gluten-free bagel with a few slices of avocado – it is simply the most delicious breakfast ever! The great thing about these is that you can make a recipe and freeze them. You will then have a delicious breakfast to go when you wake up too late and are in a rush to get your day started.
The mini frittatas are filled with vegetables and also have quinoa for extra protein. The chipotle gives it a bit of a kick with its smokey flavour. This healthy breakfast will definitely nourish you for a busy day!
