Mini Flax Frittatas.
Posted by dana on Jan 24, 2012 in food, recipe | 24 comments
A few weeks back my boss at the coffee shop told me there was an employee at our warehouse who sells his chicken eggs for $1 a dozen.
Farm fresh eggs for cheap? Guess who’s the proud owner of a dozen a week? THIS GIRL.
If you want some eggies than you betta put ya name on it.
You want some eggies than you betta put ya name on it.
Once you go farm fresh you never go back people. Yeah, I said it.
My first creation with these beauties? Mini flax frittatas with lots and lots of fresh veggies.
I think I’m in love.
And what can you serve something this fluffy, eggy and beautiful on?
Brioche toast circles! Made apparently with a shot portioner. Don’t ask questions.
For this batch I toasted up two slices of fresh brioche bread and then cut circles out of them, which was quite possibly the most fun activity since coloring books.
Although, I do still love crayons…
Once your toast circles are ready you just plop the frittatas on top. It’s that easy!
Breakfast has never been so fun.
Mini Flax Frittatas on Brioche Circles
makes 4 | 2 servings
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon flaxseed meal
1/3 cup milk {I used 2%}
sprinkle of parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1/3 cup chopped vegetables {I used spinach, broccoli and onion}
2 pieces toast, cut into circle shapes {I used brioche}
Method | Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 4-5 lots in a muffin tin. Whisk all of the ingredients together – except the toast – in a large bowl until well combined. Pour egg batter evenly into four {or five} tins until almost full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until egg is fully cooked. Remove carefully from tins using a knife or fork and plop on top of toast circles. Serve warm with salsa and additional parmesan cheese.
These little beauties are delicious! I love eggs and toast for breakfast and try and get extra veggies in whenever I can, so this breakfast was perfect for me. The frittatas are light and fluffy and oh-so healthy thanks to the addition of veggies and flaxseed.
Salsa is completely optional but highly recommended.
However, that is coming from a total sauce fiend so I’m sure they’re just as delicious without.
The recipe yields 4 frittatas which I think is a perfect serving for 2 people.
Additional sides might be a fresh fruit salad, veggie or turkey sausage, or whisper salads.
And of course, OJ and coffee make the perfect beverage companions.
I hope you enjoy these little lovelies as much as I did.
Here’s to breakfast!

I just added mini quiches to my meal plan for next week, but I might have to change it to these! Yum!
You really don’t go back from farm fresh – I totally agree! I love a good frittata and I haven’t had one it so long. I had no idea what was for dinner until now. If not fritatta, at least something with eggs and veggies
These are so cute! I love frittataI bake them in little ramekins sometimes and make a huge salad alongside for dinner.
You can taste the difference in a happy chicken’s egg 
I totally agree with you, we only buy our eggs from the local farmer’s markets or get them free from my auntie
Holy cow these look amazing!! Love them and they are adorable!
they are beautiful!!!!! I am so jealous you are getting a dozen eggs for $1.
I know, it’s such a steal, right?
yes! a dozen costs me almost $4!
Such a cute idea–love the toast circles!
So true! Fresh eggs are the best, and I will never go back. I love the mini frittata–personal-pan frittata.We often eat eggs with salsa, and these would be a hit!
Love it! I heart anything involving eggs and salsa.
Just pinned this recipe to try over the weekend, they look delish. I’m with ya on the eggs with salsa, so good!
Oh, how lovely. This looks so good.
And I agree. Farm fresh eggs are the absolute best. There’s just no comparison.
We used to get farm fresh eggs from my mom’s dance instructor each week (weird sort of…whatever, she had chickens) and NOTHING is better. I love your little toast circles, too.
These pictures are flawless!! And the recipe isn’t too shabby either
Wow my breakfasts are never quite so cute! Do you do delivery?
Um yeah I wish! If delivering breakfasts on a bicycle could be my day job, trust me, I’d take it!
Great idea!
These are simply adorable!! Do you have any suggestions to sub for the flaxseed?
Thank you! You can either completely omit the flaxseed or sub it with chia seeds or probably even wheat germ! Hope that helps
Great, thanks!!
Never thought to use broccoli – genius!
I want this in my mouth RIGHT NOW. Lovely photos.
Thanks friend! That’s a huge compliment coming from such a great photographer like yourself!
