MICROWAVE EGG FRITTATA



Microwave Egg Frittata image

Spinach, bacon, cheese and tomatoes float in a fluffy frittata thats ready in just 3 minutes! My husband and I started the south beach diet and got tired of plain eggs and bacon after a few days. You can put almost anything into this to make it your own--we also like mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, tomato juice, ham, cheddar cheese, or even the eggs alone. I have it listed as a single recipe because it's more fun to choose your own veggie combination, but if you want to make it double sized, the microwave time increases to 6 1/2 minutes for a 3 cup round container, and up to 8 minutes for an 8x8-inch Pyrex.

Time 6m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 roma tomato
1 -2 slice turkey bacon
1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Pam cooking spray
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Spray a microwave safe cereal sized bowl with the Pam.
  • Wash the spinach, pat it dry, remove the stems, and tear it into edible sized pieces. (1/2 cup is my guess, I usually just grab a small fistful.) Toss into bottom of bowl.
  • Either slice or dice the tomato and toss it inches Likewise with the bacon. Throw the cheese on top of that. (you can change any of the veggies to suit your tastes).
  • Beat the two eggs and milk in a separate cup lightly with a fork, pour over the mess in the bottom of the bowl (a lot of the stuff will float, especially the spinach and bacon). Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Microwave on high for 3 minutes. (I don't know how many watts my microwave is--let it cook for about 20 seconds after the center puffs up even with the rest, and it should be done) Avoid overcooking or it will form a yucky crust of crunchy egg. The sooner you eat it, the fluffier it is. After 15 minutes of sitting, it will be cold, and about half of the size it was coming out of the microwave. I don't recommend letting it sit that long.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick microwave-safe bowl or ramekin: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to clean up.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly: This will help ensure that the frittata is evenly cooked.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • Add your desired fillings: You can add a variety of fillings to your frittata, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat.
  • Microwave the frittata on medium power for 1-2 minutes at a time, stirring in between: This will help prevent the frittata from overcooking.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

A microwave frittata is a quick and easy breakfast or lunch option that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables or meat, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. With a little creativity, you can create a frittata that is both delicious and nutritious.
