Mini Frittatas- Great idea for busy moms!

Can you tell there is a bit of a theme to my posts this week.... many have to do with helping my sister out and making her some quick easy delicious meals and snacks... but the good part is that I also get to try out new recipes and keep half for me. It's a win win situation don't you think?

Mini Frittatas (adapted from http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/mini-frittatas-recipe/index.html)

Ingredients:

Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray

9 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 slices thinly sliced ham, chopped

1/3 cup light cheddar cheese

Thinly sliced veggies of your choice ( I used broccoli, red and green peppers)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray a regular size muffin tin (12) with nonstick spray. Whisk the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt in a large bowl to blend well.  Pour evenly into your muffin tins. Add ham, cheese, and veggies. Bake until the egg mixture puffs and is just set in the center, about 10 minutes.

Here they are before going into the oven. Half are ham and cheese, 1/4 are 'all dressed' and 1/4 are all veggies. 

Here is an all dressed frittata.

... and a ham and cheese one. You can just reheat them in the microwave for about 50 seconds and you can eat it like that or put it in between a toasted english muffin. 

Look at Julie and Stephanie... just digesting one of those frittatas.

...and then kissing, ok, no, not really, but I had to post these gorgeous pictures of new mother and child.
