1/2 cup cooked breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, or ham, chopped)
1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes)
1/4 cup green onions or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Stir gently with a fork if needed to combine.
Bake:
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the frittata cups are puffed and set in the center.
