Mini Frittata - The Fridge Cleaner!


Come Sunday's scattered on the shelves of my fridge are things like half a pepper, a few stalks of asparagus, left over bacon from breakfast, and all other assorted scraps from the weeks cooking. Personally I have a hard time throwing the food away know that it is still good and fresh. That is when I thought of making a bunch of small frittatas from it in a muffin pan. Each muffin cup can be a different Frittata flavor and they take not time to prep and bake! They are also the perfect size for breakfast on the go or for lunch on a bed of greens.
A Frittata is much like a quiche with out a crust or a baked omelet. The contents of the Frittata, other than the egg and milk mixture, have no real definition. You can put what ever you want in there and just bake it in the oven until the egg is set.
