Veggie Frittata Muffins - Low Carb

Ozzzie's Note:

I enjoyed the flavor of these muffins, but I had a problem with them sticking and losing their shape, which made them look less appealing.

Ozzzie these were very good:) It has wonderful ingredients as is, but I can see endless possibilites for variations. I plan on making these ahead to take camping. I baked mine at 400 degrees. This recipe sure comes in handy for guests to reheat who get up earlier than we do. Microwave 2 with 2 muffins for about 1 minute and 40 seconds and you have an ultra easy breakfast. Next time I will add 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper (I love pepper) plus a dash of salt and there will be a next time! Made and enjoyed for the Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game.

I made this with onion instead of leek, carrot in place of zucchini and broccoli in place of the spinach to accomodate DD's tastes. They were baked in a lightly greased nonstick muffin tin. I had no trouble getting them out of the tins. The muffins were delicious.
