I can’t even begin to tell you how much my husband and I loved these Mini Frittatas! They are the perfect make-ahead breakfast because they re-heat so well. Plus, they couldn’t be easier to make. It was so nice to have these in the fridge ready to go for a healthy breakfast or a snack.
The smoked mozzarella adds a tasty, bacon-like flavor. Bacon flavor without the extra step and mess of frying bacon? Yes, please. If you haven’t tried smoked mozzarella, then you need to get some right away! I used the Rumiano brand of cheese that I picked up on one of our last trips to Natural Grocers.
You could always use a different type of cheese in these frittatas if you aren’t a fan of smoked cheese. I just loved it in this particular recipe. Let’s face it, if you eat a lot of eggs, it’s always great to find new ways to flavor them. They can get a little boring if you eat them the same way day in and day out.
Since these do re-heat so well, they would make a great dish to serve for a Christmas breakfast or brunch. You could make a double batch if you have several guests staying with you. I think both kids and adults alike will absolutely love these.
