HOW TO MAKE MINI SALSA SPINACH FRITTATAS
If you’ve made those cute little breakfast egg cups, like Low Carb Ham Egg Muffins, then you will have no problem whipping up these Mini Salsa Spinach Frittatas. They’re super easy to make in just a few simple steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease your muffin tin.
- Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, then divide mixture between the muffin wells. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool slightly and serve with more cheese, salsa and green onion slices if desired.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR MINI SALSA SPINACH FRITTATAS
- Eggs – whole large eggs were used for this recipe.
- Spinach – fresh baby spinach leaves bring freshness and lots of texture to these frittatas.
- Salsa – chunky salsa is essential! If your salsa contains a lot of liquid, drain off most of the liquid. Your salsa should still be wet.
- Queso Fresco Cheese – my personal favorite, but cheddar or Mexican blend are great choices for substitutes.
- Milk – I used 2% milk, but heavy cream or half and half can be used.
💡Great Idea – For more flavor, you can substitute the drained salsa liquid for the milk.
