These days I’m all about ease. I’ve been super busy with work and getting all the boxes ticked off with wedding planning! Less than 6 months away…I can’t believe it!
You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I don’t know if I can say it’s the most important, I think all meals are pretty important, but starting your day off with some good fuel makes a huge difference as to how your day plays out.
These muffin tin frittatas are the perfect make ahead breakfast for the week. You can easily store them in the fridge and pop them in the microwave or toaster oven to heat them up on the go.
Tip: I find that having quick breakfast ideas on hand always makes for an easier morning, so I’ve created a list of my healthy meal prep breakfast recipes for you here!
I like to stuff them full of tons of delicious veggies like mushrooms, kale, tomatoes and bell peppers but they are pretty much a clean slate as far as what you can add to them. I’ve also tried chopped asparagus and spinach, and sometimes add a bit of meat to them if I’m feeling it. I’ve also tested out different kinds of cheeses. I think just regular old grated cheddar has been my favorite but goat cheese and feta are delicious as well depending on what else is in them (goat cheese and asparagus, or for something a bit more fancy if you’re hosting a brunch, I’d maybe go with brie cheese and prosciutto or ham)
I hope you enjoy! As always, I love to see your creations! Tag me on Instagram with @lindsaypleskot and #makefoodfeelgood.
Enjoy!

Love these! As does hubby. I first tried these when doing Lindsay’s Make Food Feel Good Program, through the 3-2-1 Method Meal Plans. I make half with chees as the recipe calls for (for myself). My husband is lactose intolerant so I remove the cheese and sometimes add little bit of any left over meat we have (example, left over steak). Advice – cut the veggies small

Yes! Nothing better than when a recipe works out for the whole fam! I love how you just make slight modifications to make it work for everyone. Awesome Kaleigh!
