Mini Frittatas

Cultural Context

Originating from Italy, frittatas are a versatile dish traditionally made with leftover ingredients, showcasing the Italian love for resourcefulness in cooking. They are often served as a light meal or appetizer and can be enjoyed hot or cold. In modern kitchens, mini frittatas have gained popularity for meal prep and brunch gatherings, allowing for endless customization with seasonal vegetables and proteins.

Zucchini can be a lower-calorie option; carrots are often less expensive.

1

Dice red pepper, poblano pepper, and shallot into small cubes.

2

Roughly chop kale leaves.

3

Heat skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

4

Once oil is hot, add diced vegetables. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until shallots become translucent.

5

Add kale and fresh lemon juice from ½ lemon. Continue stirring for about 3-5 minutes until leaves are slightly wilted. Set aside.

6

Pre-heat oven to 175°C (350°F). While oven is heating, lightly grease a muffin pan.

7

Add 1 slice of prosciutto into each cup of the pan, forming 12 prosciutto cups.

8

Add eggs into a bowl, and gently whisk with a fork. Add vegetables, cheese, and pepper to mixture. Stir to blend. Note: Since the prosciutto and cheese are salty, you should not add additional salt.

9

Scoop mixture evenly into the prosciutto cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes until frittatas become a golden yellow color and are slightly firm to the touch.

10

Serve on a plate and garnish with kale leaves, lemon, and chives.
