Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 tomato, diced (feel free to use about 3/4 cup canned too)

- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated (divided in two halves)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a muffin tin with vegetable spray.
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Add the onions, allow to soften and slightly brown for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat. Add the tomatoes. Cover and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes or until caramelized. Feel free to add some balsamic vinegar or brown sugar to flavor.

- Spoon a small amount of the egg mixture into each muffin tin. Add the caramelized onions and bacon to each tin. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bacon and onions. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata muffins begin to brown and the eggs are cooked.
