I don't know about your teenager but mine likes to sleep to the very last minute and for some reason planning the night before on what to take for lunch, is a new concept that just can't be done. She works on the weekends and usually ends up calling me to bring her something to eat. I can't always bring her something. I thought, if I planned ahead I could at least make her breakfast before she goes. I prepped the veggies the night before and I used egg beaters, just shake and pour. She thought they were really good and she would eat them again. You can't ask for more than that with a picky eater. I got the idea for this from What's Gaby Cooking.
Frittata Cups
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 32 ounce box of egg beaters
5 mushrooms, diced
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil for drizzling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tin or use parchment paper.
In a large 10 inch skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Sauté the diced onion, red bell pepper and mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they are slightly soft. Season with salt and pepper. 
Add the sautéed vegetables to individual muffin molds.
Pour eggs over veggies. (I used the egg beaters because it made it easier to just pour them over the veggies), season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the top with the cheese. 
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the eggs are completely set. Serve warm or cold. 
The good thing about these are you can make them to your own individual tastes. Onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese or onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and veggie bacon or veggie Canadian bacon. They all sound good to me!
Have a wonderful day!

Thank you, this reminds me of my mini quiches. I'll try it.
Ooooooh, yummy! These sound so delicious and easy. I could make a whole muffin tin full and have them for a couple of days. I always feel better when I start the day off with protien. And wouldn't these taste delicious with roasted asparagus and a little ham? So yummy.
Thanks for this wonderul recipe.
