Cins Sausage And Cheese Mini Frittatas Recipes

MINI ITALIAN FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, including the top of the pan.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with a fork. Add the spinach, tossing with tongs, then cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, tossing once while it cooks, until the spinach is all wilted. Off the heat, stir in the basil and lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture with tongs among the 12 muffin cups, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle the Fontina evenly on top.
• In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, beat the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each cup, filling the muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle each frittata with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the frittatas for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, they should feel firm. Cool for 5 minutes, remove with a small sharp knife onto a serving plate, and serve hot or warm.

MINI SAUSAGE FRITTATAS

• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well blended. Add the salt, pepper, parsley, and Tabasco . Mix well.
• Add about three-quarters of the sausage and about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and mix to blend.
• Fill the prepared muffin cups about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining sausage and cheese over the filled muffin cups.
• Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the frittatas have puffed and set. Remove the pan to a rack and use a knife or spatula to loosen the sides. Lift them out onto a plate.
• Serve these mini frittatas with a little ketchup, salsa, or marinara sauce, or serve with sliced tomatoes on the side.

• 6. *Can be made the night before, cover when completely cooled (or place in zip lock bag) then heat in microwave when ready to serve.
• 7. Note from Cin: Remember when making these for the Kiddo's...they don't like a lot of onion. That's why I did not put much in these. Now if you and yours like onion...load`em up if you'd like. When I make them for just the Hubby and I, we like more onion and garlic (both fresh from our garden and sauteed).
• 8. Also use your favorite cheese or cheeses...it's good with sharp cheddar and/or longhorn colby. Fresh grated Parmeasan is nice melted on top right out of the oven.
