Mothers Day Frittata Muffs

Eggs man. Eggs are tough. You either are REALLY into eggs, or your like… MEH- I'd rather have a pancake. From a dietetic standpoint, eggs really are the way to go. They are jam packed with nutrients, protein, and most importantly they keep you full a hell of a lot longer than yogurt or the bready good stuff. As with all things, for me to enjoy eggs they have to pack a punch, so these frittata muffins are a great venue to add seasonal yum-yums that liven up ye good ol' egg. I made these for mother's day and all of my mommys (aunts, grandmothers, etc) went gaga for them. I love to mix up the elements of the frittata components- a little smoked mozzarella, grilled corn and zucchini, roasted cherry tomatoes for that bright acidity component, and some fresh basil- they are phe-nom. phenom. You can stick them in your freezer and microwave them at work, easy peasy yaweezy? (like- ya with me?) Alright, lets get cookin'.

Summer Harvest Frittata Muffins
8 eggs
1 cup milk (any kind)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 zucchini, halved and grilled- cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 ear corn, grilled- corn removed from the cob
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, roasted (400f- toss in a little olive oil, 10 minutes until they start to shrivel)
1/2 cup cubed smoked mozzarella (about 1/2 inch pieces- a nice chunk)
1 bunch basil, thinly sliced

Note: I have a jumbo muffin tin- 6 muffins per batch- that fits exactly for this recipe. You can go smaller- you can pour it in a dish- just watch it when you cook. Smaller= less cook time, Big dish= longer cook time.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Line your muffin tins (jumbo liners you can definitely find at whole foods.) Combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper and whisk to combine.

Step 2: Prep your veggies. Make sure you sprinkle the zucchini, corn, and tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. 

Step 3: Place the egg mix in the muffin liners, then add your veggies- I put 4 pieces of zucchini, 2 chunks of mozzarella, 3-4 roasted tomatoes, and a tablespoon or so of corn (add it last or else it goes right to the bottom) top with the basil.

Step 4: Pop in the oven, about 15 minutes until they set.

Not only are they freakin' beautiful- they are delicious- and HEALTHY. Anyone yelling at me about yolks or a little mozzarella can go scratch. ENJOY!
