Frittata Minis

Bite size Frittatas with garlic scapes and/or scallions, spinach and cheese.  They are so delicious, and fun too! They taste like they came from a Italian Cafe.  

When I see garlic scapes at the market, I have to get some (ramps too!). (I found them at Whole Foods on Sunday ;). They add a delicate garlic flavor to every dish, and they are so fun to cook with!

These mini tulip cupcake (#ad) liners add such a nice touch!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup of chopped scallions or garlic scapes
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 1 tbsp torn basil leaves
• 2 oz Monterey jack cheese (I used Rumiano Organic Monterey Jack Cheese Slices)
• 4 eggs 
• 1/4 cup milk
• salt and pepper
• grated Parmesan 

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a mini muffin tin with parchment liners and brunch with olive oil. (Alternatively, you can just brush tin with olive oil).   
2. Heat the olive oil on low in a skillet and then add scallions &/or garlic scapes for about 4 minutes, and then add the spinach for 4 more, stirring until the spinach is wilted. 
3. Drain the greens and then stir in basil, and spoon evenly into bottom of each mini muffin cup. 
4. In a bowl, stir together eggs, cheese (torn into small pieces), milk, salt and pepper.
5. Spoon the mixture carefully over the greens into each muffin cup to the top.
6. Sprinkle Parmesan over them, and place in the oven for 12-20 minutes. If you insert a toothpick the middle should be firm.
