Frittata

[Guest guest]

I just remembered a recipe I got from Raylene's website. It was a frittata

recipe but you pour it into mini muffin tins and bake it, then pop them out when

done. Very portable, but you need access to an oven to prepare it. My husband

loved these.

cooking spray

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

2/3 cup chopped reduced fat ham (about 2 oz)

1/3 cup (about 1-1/2 oz) shredded reduced fat extra-sharp cheddar

2 Tbs chopped fresh thyme

1/8 tsp dried thyme

1/8 tsp black pepper

4 large egg whites

1 large egg

Preheat oven to 350.

Saute onion 2 minutes, add ham and saute 3 minutes. Remove from heat and

allow to cool 5 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon

mixture into 24 mini muffin cups coated with cooking spray (or I used 8regular

sized muffin cups). Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until set. Yields 8 servings

of 3 frittatas each.

I haven't made these in a while, but I think they're a good option for

us. Especially for those of us who need portable food that can be prepared

ahead of time.

A frittata uses the same ingredients as an omelette, but it's a

different animal.

For an omette, you put the mixed eggs into a heated pan, cook, then add the

stuff

For a frittata, you prepare the stuff in the pan, pour the eggs on top, let

it set - then bake it.

Omlettes are really best when they're warm.

Frittatas can be eaten room temperature or reheated.

I have a document that has lots of variations - of course, it's from before

BFL but is very easy to modify - the document is a blueprint (from How to

Cook without a Book) of ideas that you can adjust for your individual needs.

I'll put it in the RECIPE folder of the files. It's called FRITTATI (duh!)

Enjoy -

Has anyone ever made the Spinach Frittata from the ER Cookbook (p. 290)? I'm

going to a brunch Friday and would like to make this the night before and reheat

it in the morning. What do you think? Would it ruin in enough to make it

worth the effort to prepare it between morning outings? (Factoring in two small

kids, please!)
