  • Using a non-stick muffin tin or silicone liners helps prevent sticking and makes removal easier.
  • Swap Italian seasoning for fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store leftover mini frittatas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a microwave for about 30 seconds or in a low oven until heated through.
