Frittata Recipe

Mini Frittatas:  This is not only an impressive dish, but so easy you’ll make them regardless if you low-carb or not.  Best of all, you can eat these straight off the pan or at room temperature.  I make them when having guests over for brunch, but you can easily pop the leftovers in the freezer and reheat, since the recipe makes about 40.  There are about 4g of carbohydrates per mini-frittata, depending on your ingredients.

Mini Fritattas

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 8 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces thinly sliced ham, chopped
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray 2 mini muffin tins (each with 24 cups) with nonstick spray.  Whisk the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt in a large bowl to blend well.  Stir in the ham, cheese, and parsley.  Fill the muffin cups almost to the top with the egg mixture.  Bake until the egg mixture puffs and is just set in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes.  using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittatas from the muffin cups and slide the frittatas onto a platter.  Serve immediately.
