Delicious, healthy, and great when you’re on-the-go, these savory Sun-Dried Tomato Bacon Mini Frittatas bring just a bit of “fancy” into your standard egg muffin. Packed with sun-dried tomatoes, baby broccoli and bacon, they’re Paleo and Whole30 friendly, dairy free, and low carb.
Egg muffins, breakfast bites, egg cups, mini frittatas – all the same thing, right? With all the veggies and bacon packed into these, along with the small addition of coconut milk for “fluff”, I decided these deserved the title of frittata. But call them whatever you wish, they’ll still be the same delicious savory breakfast treats no matter what!
What I love about the mini version of these in my life, is that they are extremely portable, and since I’m always driving around in the afternoons with my kids, portable bites makes life easier and less messy.
That sounds like it’s plagiarized verbatim from a paper towel commercial but it’s truly how I feel 🙂 You all know I sometimes pack sausage and avocado in tupperwares to eat in the car, so let’s just say this is easier and SAFER for everyone. I will stand by my word that these mini frittatas are safe to eat while driving.
I totally just had a moment where I felt like a high school teacher lecturing about physics or calculus on a Friday afternoon, realizing that no one cares about the details of my rant even more so than usual.
Since it’s Friday and you’re probably not in the mood to be lectured at all about the benefits of mini versus full sized frittatas, I’ll just move on to the actual recipe and you can move on to your fun weekend plans! And maybe find a few minutes to try this recipe as a fun addition to Saturday or Sunday brunch. You won’t be disappointed!
Sun-Dried Tomato Bacon Mini Frittatas {Paleo & Whole30}
Ingredients
- 4 slices sugar free bacon - U.S. Wellness Meats is my favorite!
- 1 cup roughly chopped sundried tomatoes
- 1 and 1/2 cups roughly chopped broccolini - baby broccoli - florets
- 2 tbsp water
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup full fat organic canned coconut milk - heavy cream would work too if you tolerate dairy
- 1/4 tsp salt
- generous pinch of black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
-
Preheat a heavy or cast iron skillet to med-hi heat. Chop the bacon crosswise into bite sized pieces and add to the hot pan, stirring as you cook.
-
When the bacon is 3/4 of the way done, add the chopped sundried tomatoes to the pan plus the water and stir to coat. Add the chopped broccolini and stir again to coat. Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook for 1 minute before removing from heat.
-
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and chives. Add the bacon mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
-
Grease a muffin pan with coconut oil or extra bacon fat and pour the mixture into each cup 3/4 of the way full, so you have 10-12 total filled.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the eggs are just set. Remove and let cool.
-
Either serve warm or store in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days. Great as a make-ahead dish for brunch, breakfast or as a quick and easy afternoon snack!

Enjoy!

What are your weekend plans?

Awesome!
I’m all about eggs, whether it be frittatas, quiches, scrambled, fried, so these look awesome. Plus, portable to boot. Love it.
Portable eggs are the best 🙂
totally on an egg and broccolini kick. so yes, making these. You need a bacon and egg cook book. really!
I love broccolini! Fun change from broccoli. These were yummy and perfect for snacking 🙂
Do these come out of the pan easily? I’ve had bad luck in past making other egg muffins sticking. Or could I use silicone cups in the muffin tin? Which would be better? Thanks!
I would use parchment liners just to be safe! I’ve never had any sticking when using parchment liners with anything – these are the ones I use: http://amzn.to/2r86H5t
