What is in Mediterranean Egg Bites
- Eggsโthe star ingredient of these frittatas!
- Milkโ (or half and half), for a little creaminess
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepperโalways, for flavor
- ArtichokesโI use jarred artichokes in oil, or I grab some from my grocery’s deli bar
- Kalamata olives (don’t forget to drain and pit them)
- Sweet red peppersโI buy the roasted red peppers in a jar or from my grocery’s deli bar
- Sun-dried tomatoesโI like using the jarred variety, but be sure to drain them first
- Asiago cheeseโfor a sharp, savory bite
- Feta cheeseโI love the tang feta imparts, but you could use a different cheese if you’d rather (fontina or goat cheese would be great), or just omit it
- Parsleyโfor color and freshness (but you could also use basil or oregano)

Tip: If youโre really jonesing for a melty cheese version, add a hefty pinch of Monterey Jack or even a low-fat mozzarella to each of the egg cups.
How to Make These Mediterranean Egg Bites
- Blend it up. A blender makes these mini frittatas even easier to make! Put the eggs and milk or half and half in a blender and mix for 1-2 minutes. Then fill each muffin tin ยพ full with the egg mixture.
- Add the Mediterranean fillings. If using marinated or packaged flavorings, drain the oil from the vegetables before chopping. Evenly distribute the artichoke slices, kalamata olives, red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and asiago cheese among the muffin tins. Fill the tins to the top with more egg mixture then sprinkle with feta and parsley.
- Bake until the egg is set. The eggs will deflate somewhat once removed from the oven and as they cool. Run a knife around the edges of the frittatas to loosen them from the muffin cups. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
FAQ and Recipe Tips
- How is a frittata different than an omelet? An omelet has you add the filling ingredients to the center and then fold in half, whereas with a frittata you mix all of the ingredients in with the egg. A frittata is more similar to a scramble, only it’s baked.
- How do you keep a frittata fluffy? Adding milk or half and half to the egg mixture and baking just until the eggs have set are the keys to a fluffy frittata.
- I use this 24-cup mini muffin tin and found it made the perfect 2-bite portions.
- While I used marinated veggies, go ahead and use frozen artichoke hearts or those packed in water if you prefer. And feel free to add a little more or less as your heart desires.
Storage Tips
These egg bites will keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. You can also freeze the cooked and cooled egg bites. Wrap them well in plastic wrap and then foil, and store them in a freezer-safe bag or Tupperware container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
What to Serve With These Frittatas
- Cantaloupe and Mozzarella Caprese Salad
- Berry Delicious Fruit Salad
- The Best Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes
- Strawberry Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta

Perfect breakfast food. I could eat like twenty of these–simply because they involve my favorite things ever: feta, olives, artichokes, red peppers, etc. etc. Basically I am in love with all greek food.
