Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or oil.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Frittatas: Divide the sautéed vegetables and chopped shrimp evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the shrimp and vegetables. Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Allow the frittatas to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
