These nutritious Asparagus Halloumi Potato Muffin Frittatas are a simple breakfast or brunch recipe, which can also be enjoyed as a satisfying snack. Plus they are a great healthy lunchbox idea.
I have recently purchased a lovely ceramic muffin dish and these Asparagus Halloumi Potato Muffin Frittatas are the first recipe I have made using this dish (photo below). I’ve got lots of muffin pans and wasn’t planning on getting another one but this dish was so pretty I couldn’t resist. If it wasn’t for this dish this recipe would probably not have been created and that would have been a shame.
Because I love the idea of a mini breakfast/brunch frittata/savoury muffin, packed with protein and vegetables and great flavour – all in one place!
These robust little muffin frittatas are all these things, plus they make a satisfying snack that you can enjoy anytime (cold or hot). Why not pop them in your child’s lunchbox too!
For me though these muffins work best as a breakfast idea – they provide energy without the addition of sugar, which can be hard to accomplish in the morning. I used potato in this recipe to give these frittatas more substance. There is also some cheese (I chose halloumi, which meant there was no need to add salt), though I used a moderate amount to keep the fat content down. I also used chopped up asparagus, which is fantastic with the egg, potato and halloumi. None of the ingredients have to be precooked so this recipe is very quick to prepare.
This dish calls for lots and lots of pepper so use it generously!
