Individual Broccoli Cheddar Frittata

December 13, 2016 ·

This Individual Broccoli Cheddar Frittata recipe is a cheesy, high protein, veggie-packed frittata made for one. However, this recipe can easily be multiplied to yield single-serve frittatas for many. Thank you to Pompeian for sponsoring this post.

We often enjoy frittatas as an easy, high-protein meal with lots of vegetables and cheese. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, frittatas are healthy, versatile and always a favorite. While I typically make them in a skillet and serve in wedges, there is something extra special about a single-serve frittata served in a ramekin. So I decided to mix things up from my usual spinach version (which is tasty too!) to make an Individual Broccoli Cheddar Frittata!…

Spicy Deviled Eggs

April 19, 2014 ·

I am a brand ambassador for MIRACLE WHIP through the Mom It Forward Blogger Network. While I am compensated for my time, all stories and opinions are my own.

Spicy Deviled Eggs are a quick, easy and delicious way to use up those decorated Easter eggs. They put a fun, tangy and spicy twist on a classic deviled egg recipe and take only 15 minutes to prepare!

As we are creating new Easter traditions with our young kids, there are certain classics that are timeless. Easter baskets, Easter egg hunts and decorating Easter eggs. I remember dying Easter eggs was always one of my favorite Easter activities as a child (after eating all of my chocolate eggs before breakfast, of course!). I also remember my grandma had the best recipe to transform those Easter eggs into something amazing. She had a quick and easy deviled egg recipe using MIRACLE WHIP (always her secret ingredient) that was an Easter classic and always a hit. These Spicy Deviled Eggs are very similar to her recipe, only they have the addition of jalapeno peppers to give a little spicy kick!

Broccoli, Cheddar & Egg Hashbrowns Cups

April 11, 2014 ·

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for #CollectiveBias and its advertiser.

Broccoli, Cheddar & Egg Hashbrowns Cups are shredded potatoes baked in a muffin tin and then filled with broccoli, cheddar cheese and eggs. These are a perfect addition to your Easter brunch menu!

I have been eagerly anticipating Easter for a while now – coming up with the perfect gifts for Easter baskets, planning an afternoon with the bunny and working on our Easter brunch menu. While I still have to get a couple more things for the baskets, our bunny play-date is next Saturday and the brunch menu is complete. We were missing two brunch essentials – hashbrowns and muffins. So to make our menu complete, I decided to combine the two by making muffin cups out of shredded potatoes, and then filling the cups with a cheesy, broccoli egg mixture. I headed to Walmart, picked up a bag of Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes, and got straight to work! The result was a very simple to make Broccoli, Cheddar & Egg Hashbrowns Cups.

Individual Spinach Frittatas

March 6, 2012 ·

We often enjoy frittatas as a healthy, high-protein meal with lots of vegetables and cheese. While I typically make them in a pie plate and serve in wedges, I thought these individual frittatas would be a cute way to mix things up. Who knew when cooked in a small, preheated ramekin, the frittata would take on new heights – literally! I looked through the oven window only to see my cute little frittatas puffing up like a souffle. All without the beating of egg whites. How about that!

The recipe below is written to serve one, but can very easily be multiplied to serve 2 or 4 or however many you desire. Parmesan or Gruyere are both delicious in this, as is mixing up the herbs and seasonings. The original recipe used 8-ounce ramekins but I used 7-ounce ramekins and they worked fine.

Individual Spinach Frittatas

This frittata puffs up like a souffle, which makes for an impressive presentation. While this recipe is written 'for one' it can easily be multiplied to serve more.

Yields: 1 serving

Ingredients

1 egg
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons grated aged cheese, such as Gruyere, divided
1 tablespoon skim milk
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ shallot, minced
1½ cups fresh baby spinach
¼ teaspoon dried oregano (or your favorite herb mix)
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray

Instructions

Place 7 (or 8)-ounce ramekin on rimmed baking sheet and place in oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
While oven is heating, in a large bowl, whisk egg, egg whites, 1 tablespoon cheese, milk, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened (2 to 3 minutes). Add spinach and cook until wilted (about 3 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Add spinach mixture to egg mixture.
Remove baking sheet from oven and coat each dish with cooking spray. Immediately pour egg mixture into dish and top with remaining 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until frittata is puffed up and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Apple Cheddar Frittata

November 1, 2011 ·

Since last week ended up being pumpkin week, I thought it would be fun to give a nod to another fall classic this week – the apple. I enjoy an apple for lunch nearly every day and love using them in new recipes. This Apple Cheddar Frittata was new to us and will definitely be making a recurring appearance. The sweetness of the apple pairs beautifully with the sharp cheddar and the red onion balances nicely with the two.

Mike told me this is the best frittata I have made yet, though I’m noticing a trend. He seems to say ‘this is the best yet’ with everything I make. Hmm… 🙂

Apple Cheddar Frittata
Yields 4 servings

1 medium red onion, sliced
Cooking spray
8 eggs, plus 2 egg whites
1 cup (4 ounces) white cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon light butter
salt and pepper, to taste
1 large (or 2 small) Gala apples, thinly sliced (peeling is optional)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees with oven rack set to the top third.
In a medium nonstick ovensafe pan sprayed with cooking spray, cook red onions over medium heat until softened (about 7 minutes). Put the onions in a separate bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, 1/2 cup cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in onions.
In the same pan used for the onions, heat butter over medium. Add egg mixture, and after 1 to 2 minutes once the eggs have set, arrange the apples on top in a circular pattern, starting from the outside edge. Sprinkle with remaining.
Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until frittata is set in the center, about 20 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, release frittata from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

Vegetable Quichetata with Roasted Garlic Hummus and Goat Cheese

August 31, 2011 ·

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program with Sabra, I was invited to create an original recipe suitable for a cocktail party using Sabra hummus. My head has been swirling with several tasty ideas ever since, and I am very excited to share with you my creation!

We all know the basic difference between a crustless quiche and a frittata. A crustless quiche is made with milk (or cream or half & half) and mixed with your veggies/meats. A frittata is made with no milk and with whatever mix-ins you want to use.

Well, when you use hummus, but no milk, is the hummus a substitute for the milk, or is it considered a mix-in? The answer wasn’t quite clear, so I married the two, and the ‘Quichetata’ was born!

In this variation of a Quichetata, I used Sabra’s Roasted Garlic hummus, spinach, roasted red pepper and goat cheese. It is amazing how well you can really taste the hummus, which is good and garlicky, and balances nicely with flavors of the goat cheese and vegetables. The result is fabulous. Made in a mini-muffin pan, these Quichetatas are the perfect hot h’ors d’oeuvres for your next cocktail party, holiday party, open house or brunch.

Hummus Quichetata
Yields 24 mini-muffin-size quichetatas

8 large eggs
6 tablespoons Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese, plus additional for topping
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 12-cup mini muffin pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and hummus together until combined. Add roasted red pepper, spinach and goat cheese, whisking until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Distribute egg mixture evenly among mini muffin cups (cups will be full). Sprinkle additional goat cheese over each cup.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until eggs are set. Serve immediately.

Disclaimer: As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program, I was given Sabra’s hummus for free. The details of my experience are exclusively my opinion, and I was not otherwise influenced or compensated.

Mushroom and Spinach Frittata with Smoked Gouda

August 17, 2011 ·

On Monday, I shared with you a summery dessert that uses 4 egg yolks. I also promised you a healthy way to use up those remaining egg whites. A promise is a promise! This Mushroom Spinach Frittata with Smoked Gouda uses exactly 4 egg whites. How is that for even-steven!

Now I’m not normally a ‘smoked’ fan, but smoked gouda is truly the perfect complement to the earthy mushrooms in this frittata. The spinach gives beautiful color and flavor to the dish as well. From the original recipe, I increased the onion and added garlic. To compensate for these additions, I increased the olive oil by 1 teaspoon.

The result is a delicious protein-packed veggie-filled dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner served with a side salad (saving room for Lime Tart for dessert, of course).

Mushroom and Spinach Frittata with Smoked Gouda

Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped Vidalia onion
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (I used baby bellas)
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups packed baby spinach leaves
2 large eggs
4 large egg whites
½ cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese, divided
Pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook 2 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, until tender (approximately 5 minutes). Add spinach, cover and cook until wilted (1 minute).
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, ¼ cup cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture to egg mixture, mix well.
Pour mixture into cake pan and sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cheese.
Bake 30 minutes or until eggs have set. Cut into 4 wedges and serve.
