looking for basic quiche or frittata recipe
 

Does anyone have a very basic quiche/frittata recipe. You know, something you can jazz up or use as is. Also, how would you make in small size? Would you use a small muffin pan or cup cake pan? I am not the greatest in the kitchen so the simpler the better!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,

I make this regularly. Makes enough for a 6 muffin pan.

4 eggs
1 fluid oz/30 mL cream
2 oz/60g cheese - whichever sort you like
Whatever flavourings you want! I generally choose from canned salmon, chopped bacon or ham, chopped cooked chicken etc etc.
+/- chopped green onion, peppers etc.
Or you could make them vegetarian with vegies of your choice. Spinach is always good.

They're also good cold. In fact my SO prefers them cold. They make a very convenient, portable snack.

Totals for fritatta
 

I went in to fitday to calculate the total for these little darlings...happy to say they are sooo good and soooo few carbs...

for the whole recipe...

Calories....1095
Fat...............83
Carbs........14
Protein....18

Divided by six =2.3 carbs per muffinette...yummy
:wave:

For a good frittata:

4 eggs
3 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup parmesian cheese
salt and pepper to taste
green onions, chopped (optional) You can use mushrooms or whatever you would like as a filler.

Blend all ingredients together. Melt butter in a ovenproof pan and cook as you would scrambled eggs, but just until they are still a little runny. Place pan under preheated broiler until golden brown, this only takes a minute or two.

Enjoy!

question re muffins
 

How long do you cook these and at what temperature??

Thanks Debbie

Hi Debbie,

I cook my "muffin" frittatas at about 180ºC (350ºF) for around 20 to 30 minutes. They'll be puffed up and browned when they're done, but I usually check by sliding in a sharp knife or skewer. ;)

Cheers.
