Mini Frittatas With Ham & Cheese

Submitted by Dancer

"Bake these bite-sized frittatas in a miniature muffin pan. They taste great hot or at room temperature, so you can make them in advance. You can use 4 large eggs in place of the egg whites, egg whites just make it lower in fat. Enjoy!"

I found these to be quite good and tempered what I did based on other reviews. Using 5 whole eggs worked out fine. In fact just enough - Someone said that 2 tbls. of chives was too strong so I only used 1 tblsp. Next time I will use 2 tblsps. - I may have used a "generous" 1/8 tsp. of thyme and found it to be a bit much. Maybe I will I will make it a scant 1/8 tsp. next time. -- I think my pan was on the large side and it only took 15 minutes.

These are so quick to make once you have prepared the ingredients (dicing & chopping). I used parsley in place of the chives. Made these with 4 eggs in place of the whites and I got 24 mini frittatas. I took these to a meeting and they were devoured, at room temp, in quick time :) Another keeper for me :)

This was really good. I used 8 eggs, 1 cup onion, 1 cup cheese, 6 slices of bacon finely chopped, 6 mushrooms (cooked with the onions) finely chopped, and some cooked broccoli. Made it in the large muffin containers and baked them for about 30 min. Will definitely make again!

My kids loved them. I did need to cook them a bit longer. I used 5 eggs, and I left out the thyme, and they were very good. Great for quick breakfasts. We only liked them hot, though. Thanks!

I made these to take with us out of town for the holiday weekend. They were wonderful. I used a whole onion, diced, left out the chives and thyme, added garlic powder and more cheese, to some I added some fresh diced jalapeno. I used 7 whole eggs and made these in standard muffin tins. I made 12 and after my PICKY step daughter ate one (picking around the onion) she asked me to make some just for her with the onions left out, now that is high praise! This recipe is a keeper!
