Mini Make-Ahead & Freeze Frittatas

Mini Make-Ahead & Freeze Frittatas

Ingredients

4 large eggs

1/4 cup half-and-half

1/2 teaspoon salt

Assorted mix-ins (such as shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked and chopped bacon, ham, or sausage)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat your oven to 350º F and coat a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and salt in a medium bowl, then evenly distribute the egg mixture among the muffin cups.

3. Add about 2 tablespoons of mix-ins to each cup, then sprinkle on

a bit of Parmesan cheese, if you like.

4. Bake the frittatas until they are puffy and the edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. (If necessary, run a butter knife around the edge of each one to loosen them before removing them from the pan.) Makes 6 mini frittatas.

Making a substitute for half and half is as simple as mixing two everyday ingredients.

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Total Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

Milk

1 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted

Preparation:

Replace one cup of half and half with 1 tablespoon melted butter, plus enough milk to equal a cup.

Note: This substitute works well in baked goods, soups and other cooked dishes. It will not whip, and therefore should not be used in any recipe that calls for whipping half and half.
