Mini Butternut Squash Frittatas Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Put the squash in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times with a knife to vent; microwave until tender, 8 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Whisk the eggs and 1/4 cup water in another large bowl until frothy.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until it just starts browning, 3 minutes. Add the squash, bell pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is tender and the squash starts browning, 5 minutes. Stir in the scallions and cook 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl with the eggs using a slotted spoon; stir.
• Wipe out the skillet. Coat the bottom with 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and spread in an even layer. Cook until the edges are golden, 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until just set in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Loosen the edge of the frittata and unmold onto a plate; cut into wedges. Serve with the salad.

MINI BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to180C/160Cfan/gas 4. Lightly oil 12 holes of a muffin tin.
• Pull apart any squash spirals that are still stuck together and cut any long spirals of squash in half. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat then add the spiralized squash and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 mins until the vegetables have softened slightly. Stir in the red chilli, fry for a further min then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Beat the eggs in a large jug or bowl and season with salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Stir in the butternut squash mixture along with the thyme leaves and goat's cheese.
• Divide the mixture between each muffin tin, making sure each hole gets an equal amount of filling, then bake in the oven for 15-18 mins or until just set. Gently lift the fritattas out of the tin with a palette or cutlery knife.

SQUASH, PEA & FETA FRITTATINIS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the butternut squash in a bowl, cover with cling film and cook in the microwave on High for 5-7 mins until tender. Meanwhile, line 8 holes of a muffin tin with squares of baking parchment - allow a little overhang at the top as the frittatinis will puff up.
• Divide the squash, peas and feta between the lined muffin holes - they should be quite full. Beat the eggs in a jug with some seasoning, then pour into the muffin holes. Put the tin in the centre of the oven and bake for 20 mins. Leave to cool for about 15 mins before packing into a cooler bag for transporting, or chill for up to 24 hrs.
