F-R-I-T-T-A-T-A A A

Oh eggs! Oh so versatile eggs! From the time I saw Curtis Stone make frittata, I have been dying to make and eat it! Then I found these muffin shaped frittata and that's it, the deal was sealed. They look so adorable and are so delicious.
Here I have used spinach, parmesan and herbs. You can use anything from kale, goat cheese to mushrooms, bacon. Be as creative and impress everyone, including yourself!

For this you will need -
8 Nos - Eggs
2tspn - Olive Oil
2 pods - Garlic (fine chopped)
1/2 - Red Onion (fine chopped)
A handful - Chopped Spinach
1/4 cup - Milk
Salt and pepper as you desire
A couple of spoons of dried herbs
Grated parmesan as a garnish
2 tspn - Butter 

Muffin pans

Method -

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add the chopped garlic, sauté a bit. Then add the chopped onion. Fry till it is pink and then add the spinach. I didn't add any salt to this. Sauté for a minute.

In the meantime, whisk eight eggs, salt, pepper and herbs. Don't add too much salt as parmesan is salty too. Pre heat the oven to 350deg F.


Also, grease the muffin pans with the butter.


Whisk the eggs really well. Add the milk and the veggies. Pour this mixture into the muffin pans, not filling more than half. They rise quite a bit.

 
 
Garnish with parmesan. And bake at 350deg F for 10 - 12 minutes. Take it off when it turns golden brown. Serve these hot but they are great to reheat and eat too. As breakfast, as brownbag lunch, as snack! Delicious!
 
 
This recipe makes about 20 of them.
