The McJordans LOVE an eggy breakfast!
Since before Vienna was born, Walker and I have had a Sunday ritual of eating brunch together. We used to go out for brunch to a restaurant every Sunday, but now that there are three of us, we definitely make brunch at home far more often then not.
These frittatas are a recipe we make all the time and just mix up the ingredients. In fact, I made a massive batch of 60 frittatas for Vienna’s first birthday party in September! Everyone was asking me for the recipe, so I thought it was time I shared it with you.
These are not only great for adults, but they are perfect for little hands too.
You might be wondering what is sprinkled on top of the frittata cups. Those are Hemp Heart Toppers!
You know I love my hemp hearts and use them in many different recipes from smoothies, to dips and spreads and, of course, desserts. I eat them often because they are a great source of anti-inflammatory good fats and they are rich in plant-based protein. Plus, these toppers have lovely flavours added. I used the onion, garlic and rosemary toppers for these frittata cups.
I add the cinnamon maple Hemp Heart Toppers to Vienna’s applesauce and she loves it! Here’s the recipe for the frittatas:

I made these today at lunch and that’s what Vienna had for dinner. If she ever stops liking eggs, I’m in trouble! They taste delicious chilled, but you could easily just pop them in the oven for 10 minutes the next day to heat them up.
These frittatas go really nice with my Chopped Kale and Beet Salad.
Eggs are a nourishing food because they are a wonderful source of a nutrient called choline. Choline is a brain-boosting nutrient that is essential for making a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is important for memory and learning. Be sure to always use the yolk because this is where the choline is found, as well as other brain-boosting nutrients, including lecithin.
I hope you enjoy these mini frittatas! If you love them, be sure to check out my Zucchini Frittata Cups too.
Have a joyous rest of your week!

Excellent! I've been looking for an egg based breakfast recipe for my 10 month old. I hope your Vienna keeps on enjoying those recipes. My 4 yr old used to love eggs, scrambled with all kinds of yummy stuff, but since 2.5-3 yrs old she's turned her nose up at them! After about a year of no eggs, she'll now occasionally have scrambled or fried, but mostly only likes hard-boiled. No more yummy veggie mixes, sadly!
ReplyHow long can I keep refrigerated? What about freezing? I want to make a batch for the week- is that ok refrigerated for a week? I have a 13 month old granddaughter. We've been making something similar.
ReplyHi Marie! They should last for about 3-4 days in the fridge and can definitely be frozen in an airtight container for longer storage. Heather- Joyous Health Team
Hi Joy, Do you recommend any particular cupcake holder? I find the generic ones that I buy leak colours onto my pan and I am worried those chemicals are getting into my food. Thanks! =)
ReplyHey Ashley! The Brand "If You Care" makes some great options for natural muffin liners or if you're serious about baking, silicon cups might be good option (although a little bit more of an initial investment). I hope that helps! Heather- Joyous Health Team
I just made these for my 13 month old and he devoured them! What a win! Thanks for the great recipe.
ReplyAwesome! Glad to hear it :) Another great toddler recipe he might like are these: https://www.joyoushealth.com/27161-blog-not-your-mama-s-meatloaf EnJOY!
Hi there, Just wondering approx how many calories r in one ? Thxs
ReplyHi there, I'm not sure as I don't personally count calories and encourage people to eat whole foods and not worry about the number. I'm sure you could plug in the info on some sort of fitness app? Hope that helps!
So tasty! I made these today for lunch along with a big salad, just perfect, thanks Joy! Next up, pancake bake! 😊
ReplyAwesome!! Oh the pancake bake is a gem. Enjoy both!
