Mini Ramen Noodle Frittatas

Submitted by peachy_pie

"These are a very cheap and attractive little snack or treat for the lunchbox, and so easy that anyone could make it! You could certainly add leftover veggies, meats, or extra herbs and spices to this basic idea, and adapt it for personal tastes."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, cooked according to directions
• 6 eggs
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

directions

1. Whisk the eggs together with one of the seasoning sachets from the ramen noodles. Discard the other one.
2. Mix together the noodles, egg, bell pepper and carrot. You may find you need to chop some of the noodles into smaller pieces with the spoon as you go to make this more managable.
3. Pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin. Sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese and bake at 180 degrees Celcius until they are puffed and set - about 15 minutes.
4. Allow to cool and remove from the tin. Serve as a light lunch with salad or as a snack.
5. These freeze well.

We enjoyed these as a side with our oven fried chicken and buttered corn dinner. I used my large muffin tin, so it yielded 6. I also decided to use both packets of seasoning and I'm glad I did. I believe some pepper would be nice. :)

This recipe was very easy to make, & I did cut it in half, using one ramen packet & 1/2 a seasoning envelope! Also I crushed the noodles before emptying the packet, & added a small amount of lemon pepper! All in all, it made for a nicely satisfying breakfast for 3 of us!

I halved the recipe, used egg beaters, and my husband and I both enjoyed these little treats! Mine came out of the pan nicely! I did add some salt to spice it up a little. Thanks!

Wonderful flavor, great appearance. Good for a brunch buffet or as said a snack. Too many Ramen is my only complaint - I made the recipe twice and the second time I cut the ramen back to just under 1 pkg - perfect. They really pop up in the oven I know I will be making this recipe again Good luck in the contest!

Simple & easy to make, these were interesting in both flavor & texture. Good flavor (I used beef seasoning packet) but the texture was rubbery. We made the recipe just as posted for the contest, but next time will add some bacon or cooked sausage & serve them for a quick breakfast treat. I do see a lot of potential in this recipe for lunch, snack, side dish or breakfast & we will be making them again. I had to assign only 4 stars because the directions could use a couple changes to simplify them. I just assumed we should drain the ramen water & that we add everything to the bowl we mixed the eggs in. I also have to mention that I used a non-stick muffin tin (one without scratches or knicks) sprayed with non-stick cooking spray & still it took two hot water/soap, hot water/fabric softener sheet & eventually an SOS pad scrubbing to get the pan cleaned. The first soak was immediately after eating, the second was overnight & then I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. Hopefully by adding meat in the future we won't have such a nasty sticking problem. Thanks for sharing your creation! Made for Fall 08 Dining on a Dollar - Ramen Noodle challenge.
