- If using bacon, grill or dry fry it until it is cooked to your preference, then chop into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the cooked vegetables peppers, feta, grated courgette (and bacon if using) along with some black pepper. Gently stir to combine the mix, then divide the mixture evenly between the prepared muffin holes.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the frittatas are set and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly, before releasing from the tin.
- Either serve immediately or store in a plastic container.
