Thursday is my dancing night. After a quick trip to the library, I only had a little bit of time to make dinner. Good thing I already had an idea of what I was going to make: Mini Fritatas with Potatoes, Broccoli and Cheese.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 potato, peeled and cubed
1/2 onion, cubed
1 garlic clove, sliced
a few pinches of red pepper flakes
2 handfuls of broccoli florettes, cut into small pieces
6 medium eggs (or 4 large)
a splash of milk
cooking spray
a few slices of thinly cut oven roasted turkey breast (optional)
1/2 cup of shredded cheese
Directions
1) preheat the oven to 380F
2) heat oil in a pan, add potatoes and cook until they are golden brown
3) add onions and garlic to the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and add a few pinches of red pepper flakes
4) cook the vegetables till they are tender (undercooked potatoes are horrible)
Note: to help potatoes cook quicker, add a few tablespoons of water, cover the pot and let the vegetables steam
5) add a few handfuls of broccoli and cook a few more minutes
6) whisk the eggs and milk together (I did not have milk and used fat free half & half instead)
7) spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, add vegetable mixture and top with some of the egg mixture
Optional: first "line" the muffin tins with thinly sliced turkey breast (or ham) and then add the vegetables, followed by the egg mixture
8) bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until the eggs are nearly set
9) top with shredded cheese and put the muffin tin under the broiler for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling
10) serve immediately (makes 7 muffins)
Variations
You can obviously add or subtract any of the vegetables, choose the cheese you like and add protein in form of chicken or shrimp. Have fun!
