What You’ll Need to Make Mini Frittatas
Creating these mini frittatas is a breeze, thanks to the efficiency of the Instant Pot. Here’s what you’ll need and how to make them:
- Uncooked turkey bacon, chopped
- Eggs
- Salt
- Pepper
- Red potato, diced
- Bell pepper, diced
- Onion, diced
- Milk
- Cheddar cheese
How to Make Instant Pot Mini Frittatas
To get started, place your chopped turkey bacon at the bottom of three heat-proof ramekins. Next, layer on the diced vegetables, which will add a lovely mix of flavors and nutrients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined, then pour this mixture over the veggies in each ramekin. For a final touch, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Cover each ramekin with foil, and place them on the trivet inside your Instant Pot, with 1 cup of water at the bottom. Set the Instant Pot to cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes.
Once the cooking time is up, use the quick-release method to release the pressure. Carefully remove the ramekins, serve, and enjoy your delicious, homemade mini frittatas!
Customizing Your Instant Pot Mini Frittatas for Any Diet
One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. You can easily customize the ingredients to suit your dietary preferences or what you have on hand. Here are a few ideas:
- Vegetarian: Swap the turkey bacon for spinach or mushrooms.
- Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free cheese alternative and replace the milk with almond or soy milk.
- Low-Carb: Skip the red potato and add more veggies like zucchini or broccoli.
These mini frittatas are a great way to use up leftover vegetables and experiment with different flavor combinations.

I dont have an Instant Pot. Is the recipe convertible to oven ?
Yes, you can definitely make these in a traditional oven. You’ll just need to adjust the cooking time. I would start with the oven at 375 and a cook time of 10-15 mins. Make sure you’re watching and check that the centers are getting set then remove from the ramekin right away. Here’s a general guide on recipe conversion for Instant Pots.
This recipe sounds delicious. Just wondering what size ramekins are recommended for the mini frittatas?
I recommend 6oz but anything similar would work fine. Here’s the ramekins I recommend: https://amzn.to/4cdcJrU
One thing, I can’t eat Bell peppers so, Can I add the same amought fo chopped uncooked mushrooms? Or Pineapple (can Diced)?
Absolutely! That’s the great thing about frittatas, you can put in anything you think sounds good.
Thank you so very much!!
