Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Muffin Tin Pizza Frittatas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
In a skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over high heat until it shimmers.
Step 3
Once it’s hot, add in the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Step 4
Let it sizzle for about 5 to 7 minutes until it’s beautifully browned.
Step 5
Next, toss in the diced red and green bell peppers, stirring them in until they soften, which should take another 5 minutes.
Step 6
Once everything is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool for a moment.
Step 7
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together some eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, a splash of hot sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 8
Once combined, gently fold in the sausage and pepper mixture, ensuring every bite will be packed with flavor.
Step 9
Now, grab a 12-cup muffin tin and give it a light spray with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 10
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for some rising.
Step 11
Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and let it bake for 15 minutes, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 12
While the frittatas are baking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in another skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 13
Add in the chopped garlic, grated onion, and dried oregano, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the kitchen is filled with a fragrant medley.
Step 14
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop rich flavors.
Step 15
Once the frittatas are done baking, take them out of the oven and generously top each one with a spoonful of the savory tomato sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 16
If you have any sauce left, save it for serving later.
Step 17
Return the frittatas to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a mouthwatering finish.
Step 18
When they’re ready, remove the frittatas from the oven and add a touch of freshness by garnishing with chopped parsley and torn basil leaves.
Step 19
Serve these delightful bites warm, and enjoy the burst of flavors in every delicious mouthful!.
