Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large eggs
2 cups cooked quinoa (cooled (about 3/4 cup dried quinoa should result in about 2 cups cooked))
1 cup + 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 4- ounces can diced green chiles (drained (or roast, peel, and chop your own - poblanos would be fabulous))
1 cup frozen corn kernels (or fresh cooked kernels cut from the cob)
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3-4 slices thick-cut bacon (cooked, drained and chopped)
6-8 slices thick-cut bacon (cooked, drained and chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line 12 standard-size muffin tins with paper cupcake liners and spray well with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the quinoa, 1 cup cheddar cheese, chiles, corn, onion, salt, and pepper and mix.
  • If adding bacon, stir that in now. If adding bacon to half, fill six of the muffin tins with the egg/quinoa then add the bacon to the bowl, stir, and fill the remaining muffin tins. Or, if you're skipping the bacon, forget what I just said and just fill the muffin tins to the top with the egg/quinoa mixture. I use an ice cream scoop - makes it easy!
  • Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup cheddar over each.
  • Bake for 18 - 20 minutes until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • These keep refrigerated for about 3 days in an airtight container, or freeze for up to several months.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made these frittatas with egg replacer. They turned out great! The frittatas were still fluffy and flavorful. I'm so glad I found this recipe.

These frittatas are a great way to use up leftover corn and quinoa. I always have some leftover corn from making corn on the cob and I always have some leftover quinoa from making quinoa salads. This recipe is a great way to use up those leftovers an

I'm not a big fan of corn, but I really liked these frittatas. The corn added a nice sweetness and texture to the dish. I also liked the addition of quinoa. It made the frittatas more filling and nutritious.
