Categories main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for greasing the pans
1 1/2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, washed and spun dry
4 ounces sliced Italian prosciutto, coarsely chopped
8 ounces fresh baby spinach
2 1/2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups (4 ounces) grated Italian Fontina cheese (6 ounces with rind)
8 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, including the top of the pan.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with a fork. Add the spinach, tossing with tongs, then cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, tossing once while it cooks, until the spinach is all wilted. Off the heat, stir in the basil and lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture with tongs among the 12 muffin cups, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle the Fontina evenly on top.
In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, beat the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each cup, filling the muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle each frittata with the Parmesan cheese.
Bake the frittatas for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, they should feel firm. Cool for 5 minutes, remove with a small sharp knife onto a serving plate, and serve hot or warm.

Time 22m

Yield about 40 mini frittatas

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray
8 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces thinly sliced ham, chopped
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Spray 2 mini muffin tins (each with 24 cups) with nonstick spray. Whisk the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt in a large bowl to blend well. Stir in the ham, cheese, and parsley.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables in your frittatas to add flavor, color, and nutrients.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and herbs to find your favorite combination.
Don't overcook the frittatas, or they will become dry and tough.
