Mini Ham, Cheese and Onion Frittatas
An easy weekend breakfast, these mini ham, cheese and onion frittatas can also be made ahead and reheated in a microwave for a busy weekday morning.
There are a few things I really like about this recipe. First this only makes eight mini frittatas, which is perfect for a small family. However, if you want to increase the number of servings, for say a buffet, you can easily do so. Second, it’s the perfect recipe for leftovers. I had leftover ham from a holiday dinner and used a fair amount of it up.
Can I just say how much I love that these look like little ham and cheese frittata muffins?
Third, this recipe is easily customizable. Substitute bacon or sausage for the ham or omit it completely. Add your favorite vegetables. If you have leftover vegetables, broccoli or asparagus for example, they would also be delicious in this recipe, as would spinach, peas or bell peppers. Furthermore, it’s a great way to clean out the fridge. Especially after a holiday or big party such as a game day gathering.
If you’re looking for even more recipes that use up leftovers try these delicious hot colby ham sandwiches, ham, pea and onion risotto and turkey biscuit stew.

I won’t sleep in if these are on for breakfast!
Yum! Love recipes like this for when a lot of people are staying the night – feeds a crowd in the AM!
These would be a great breakfast for back to school! Have you tried freezing them? I would love to make a few batches to make mornings less hectic but still nutritious.
These would be perfect to make for our family when they stay with us next weekend. Always try to make something different and not just cereal for breakfast.
What a fabulous grab and go breakfast for back to school!
