Ingredients

  • 1 lb potatoes grated and excess water squeezed out
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or preferred cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup onions finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 lb sausage or ground chicken/turkey
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp bouillon powder or seasoning mix
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers green, red, yellow, diced
  • Cayenne pepper to taste
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind you prefer

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or spray a 12-cup muffin tin with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grate the potatoes and use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to press out as much moisture as you can.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3 minutes until softened and translucent. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another minute before adding your sausage or ground meat. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Once the meat is cooked through, sprinkle in the paprika, thyme, bouillon powder, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasonings as needed, and add cayenne pepper for a kick! Stir everything together.
  • Toss in the diced bell peppers and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Season with a little more salt.
  • Fold the grated potatoes and veggie-meat mix into the beaten eggs. Stir until it’s all evenly combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top. Don’t worry if it looks full – they’ll bake up just fine!
  • Pop the tin into your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittatas are golden brown on top and the eggs are set.
  • Let the frittata muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before gently removing them. Serve them up warm or store for a delicious grab-and-go breakfast!

Notes

  • You can use frozen hash brown potatoes if you're short on time or prefer a shortcut.
  • Grease or oil the muffin tin generously, as the muffins can stick.
  • Don't overfill the cups – the eggs will puff up as they cook.
  • Swap out the olive oil for coconut oil or any cooking oil you like for added flavor.
  • If you're using ground chicken or turkey, be sure to season it well with the spices to bring out the flavors.
