Mini Egg White Frittata No-Recipe Recipe
A Frittata is described as an Italian omelet that usually has the ingredients mixed with the eggs rather than being folded inside, as with a French omelet ... An omelet is cooked quickly over moderately high heat and, after folding, has a flat-sided half-oval shape. A frittata is firmer because it's cooked very slowly over low heat, and round because it isn't folded (source).
Frittatas are super easy to make, and my (mostly) egg white mini frittatas (get out your muffin tin), are perfectly portioned bites of deliciousness.
Recipe for Mini Egg White Frittatas
INGREDIENTS(makes 3 servings of 2 frittatas each)
- Egg whites (4)
- Egg (1 (whole with yolk))
- Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
- Baby Spinach (1/2 cup)
- Bell Pepper (diced - 1/4 of 1 medium size yellow)
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat egg whites & whole egg together.
- In a skillet, add olive oil and heat for about 3 minutes on medium. Add spinach and cook until wilted (about 5 minutes).
- Add the spinach, cheese & bell peppers to the egg mixture.
- Use a measuring cup, pour the mixture into the holes of a muffin tin, filling each a little over half way.
- Place the muffin tin in the pre-heated oven, and bake for 30 minutes.
NOTES
* This is a no-recipe because you can add anything to the egg mixture, mushrooms, Canadian bacon, sun-dried tomatoes!
* Do not fill the muffin tins all the way up as the frittatas will rise during baking.
* You probably could just add the raw spinach to the egg mixture instead of cooking it first.
