Steps
Heat the oven

✅ Done when: the oven reaches temperature and the tin is evenly coated with oil
Beat the eggs
In a jug, beat the eggs with the milk, herbs and black pepper until smooth. No need for salt — the cheese adds plenty of flavour.
- 8 eggs
- 80 ml milk
- 1 pinch dried herbs
- 1 pinch black pepper
✅ Done when: the mixture looks smooth and uniform

The Story Behind the Dish
The frittata is Italy's thick, open omelette, a way to turn a few eggs and leftover vegetables into a meal. Baking it in a muffin tin is a modern family trick: each portion cooks evenly and comes out the perfect size for small hands.
Parents love them because you can hide almost any vegetable inside, and children love them because they look like cupcakes.
⭐ Why It's Famous
They're one of the most popular make-ahead lunchbox ideas: cook once on Sunday, pack all week.
💡 Fun Fact
The word frittata comes from the Italian 'friggere', to fry, even though these little ones are baked.
