Low Carb Individual Breakfast Frittatas

Recipe #302044 | 45 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 16 , 16 pieces (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Wyatt's Happy Woman

Some mornings we have no time to cook but we still need protein to get the day going. I make up a batch of these each week and freeze half for the next week; they freeze well. We zap one of these in the microwave, pair it with one of my pumpkin or apple bran muffins, and we're good to go. Also, it's more of a concept than a recipe—use your favorite frittata recipe or vary this any way you please. The key is to bake them in silicone muffin pans.
