Baked Mini-Frittatas with Mushrooms
Baked Mini-Frittatas with Mushrooms
"These bite-sized frittatas can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make them on weekends to have a keto snack available come Monday (or Tuesday even). They store well in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave. But what’s really great about them is that they’re vegetarian, gluten-free, and packed with health benefits. Do not overbake these frittatas to avoid a burn egg flavor or tough texture. Also, make sure to reheat the frittatas for a minute in the microwave, no more, no less. Eggs are delicate and cook fairly quickly. You can eat these frittatas as is or topped with sour cream."

It’s also important for muscle building and repair. These frittatas are also made with olive oil, which is one of the best oils for heart health. The feta cheese also contributes to its health benefits because feta has been labeled the world’s healthiest cheese by dietitians and nutritionists.
