Eggs are a powerhouse of nutrients, and it's super-quick and easy to make mini frittatas that your child can pick up and eat as finger food.

You'll need a 12-hole silicone or metal muffin tray – or 2 trays of 6 holes.

The mini frittatas will freeze well in a plastic freezer box. When needed, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a hot oven for about 12 minutes.
