Easy Mini Fritata

Fritata!

The name does sound fancy but it is nothing more than a baked thick omelette, or, as Jamie Oliver aptly put it, an omelette cake. Making a fritata is very simple as it is like how you would cook an omelette with your choiced vegetables, some herbs and cheese. My not-too-authentic version is a much simpler version as I made it into smaller pieces, eliminating the whole process of having to cook the vegetables, and at the same time shortening the cooking time. Yes, I cooked it in mini muffins tin (well, more to a tart tin for mine). The result is a quick 5 minutes prep and 15 minutes of baking time that totally frees you to attend to other chores while cooking a fun and nutritious dish. I love the freedom in cooking this dish and I believe you do too!

This is a simple recipe that I did for this morning's breakfast. No-fuss, healthy fritata. You can actually change the vegetables to your liking. These fritata can also be frozen to be taken as a quick meal when you are in a hurry. Oh, it is also a keto- friendly recipe. Yay! Can't believe I just blogged my first keto-friendly recipe!
