Five Cheese Italian Muffin Frittatas

Ingredients:
• 2 ½ tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp for greasing the pan, the rest for sautéing vegetables)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 8 large eggs
• 1 tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 4 oz Sargento Five Cheese Blend or your favorite cheese blend
• 12 cherry tomatoes, halved (for topping)
• 1 oz parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and set aside.
2. Heat the remaining olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent but not caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sea salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir in the cooled vegetable mixture and shredded cheese.
4. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Place two cherry tomato halves on top of each frittata.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the frittatas are set in the center and lightly browned.
6. Remove from the oven and garnish each frittata with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Tip: For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or use your favorite vegan blend.

About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear. We get one go at this precious journey, so let’s make it something deliciously beautiful, savoring each bite along the way. Thanks for stopping by; your presence adds to the warmth of this shared experience.
