Perfect for breakfast or brunch these little frittatas are baked in muffin cups and take minutes to prepare. They can be frozen too, so make up a batch and enjoy as a lighter lunch option or for adding to packed lunches. You can vary the greens according to what is available.

(makes 6 muffins)

Ingredients:
2 tsp coconut oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Handful of frozen peas
½ red pepper, diced
1 spring onion, finely chopped
Handful of spring greens, shredded
4 eggs, beaten
30g Parmesan finely grated or crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4. Grease six muffin tins. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the garlic, peas, red pepper, spring onion and chopped greens. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes over a low heat until wilted and softened. Allow to cool slightly.

Place the beaten eggs in a bowl and stir in the vegetables and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide the mixture between the muffin tins. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the frittatas are golden and set. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before turning out to serve.
