The menu was pretty simple and and well decided in advance (with 3 days notice) - I wanted to make sure everything was just right for us girls.. Pancakes with maple syrup, smokey cheese sandwiches, samosas, a choice of jams, cereals and the star... these mini bacon & cheese frittatas.
I've been watching a whole lot of Buddy Valastro's Kitchen Boss lately and his recipe for frittatas looked and cooked pretty easy. But I'm also a voracious #Pinterest pinner and was absolutely taken on by the idea of having muffin shaped eggs for breakfast. Soo, when the opportunity presented itself to make frittatas, it had to be grabbed... I HAD TO MAKE MUFFIN SHAPED FRITTATAS TODAY!
Upon request from a friend, who I'm sure is eager to make these for her little bundle of joy, here's the recipe for these little bites of comfort.
INGREDIENTS
6 Eggs
50ml milk
2tbl spns fresh cream
1 red, yellow and green pepper chopped
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 chillies finely chopped
300 gms of bacon chopped
1/2 cup of grated/ diced Cheddar (or any other cheese)
1 tbl spn Olive oil (I used extra virgin)
2 potatoes (boiled or microwaved till cooked) peeled and diced
METHOD
Grease 2 muffin tins well and set aside.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
Heat oil in a frying pan and add chopped bacon, garlic and chillies till bacon is cooked
Add the chopped peppers and cook till they get soft. Turn off heat and add potatoes.
In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, cream and season with salt and pepper. Mix half the cheese.
Add the the egg mixture to the bacon, pepper and potato mix and cook till eggs start to cook just a bit and take off heat.
Add the frittata batter to the miffin tins and add the rest of the grated cheese on the mini frittata tops.. these make them look (and taste amazing)
Bake until cooked (for about 20 minutes)
Pop the lovely frittatas out of the trays and arrange them in a serving plate and voila.. they're ready to be devoured!
