Mini Frittatas With Quinoa Recipes

VEGETARIAN QUINOA FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Combine water, quinoa, and olive oil in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir rosemary into the quinoa mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 muffin cups.
• Mix quinoa mixture, zucchini, mozzarella cheese, black beans, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, egg whites, and white pepper together in a large bowl. Spoon mixture into each muffin cup and top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set in the middle and edges are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the muffin cups.

MINI MARGHERITA QUINOA FRITTATAS (WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, FRESH BASIL, AND MOZZARELLA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup, standard-size muffin tin with liners and grease well with non-stick cooking spray or an oil mister.
• In a large bowl, mix together the quinoa, eggs, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, basil, onion, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
• Divide mixture equally between muffin tins (I use an ice cream scoop).
• Sprinkle each with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Push a cherry tomato about halfway into the top of each.
• Bake for about 20 minutes until egg is set and frittatas are golden around the edges.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Place olive oil in the pan-Cook vegetables for about 5 minutes or until tender.

• Place an equal amount of the cooked vegetable mixture, quinoa, and feta cheese in each muffin cup.
• Pour in egg whites until the muffin cup is nearly full. Top with Italian herbs and pepper and salt.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center is firm.

CHEDDAR CORN QUINOA MINI FRITTATAS WITH OPTIONAL BACON

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.
