Mini Bacon and Potato Frittatas

The Italian way with omelets, frittatas make tasty appetizers. Prepare them a day ahead, chill, and reheat them just before serving. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the muffin cups to loosen them from the pans. If you don't have a mini-muffin pan, you can cook the frittata in a 13 x 9-inch pan at 375° for 15 minutes and cut into 36 squares.

Ingredients
2 cups finely chopped peeled baking potato (about 12 ounces)
5 bacon slices (uncooked)
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, divided
2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
7 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons fat-free sour cream


Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.
Place potato in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 4 minutes or until almost tender. Drain.

Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside. Add potato, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and thyme to drippings in pan; cook 8 minutes or until potato is lightly brown over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; cool.

Combine the potato mixture, bacon, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons chives, cheese, pepper, egg whites, and eggs, stirring well with a whisk. Coat 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. Spoon about 1 tablespoon egg mixture into each muffin cup. Bake at 375° for 16 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool 5 minutes on a wire rack. Remove frittatas from muffin cups. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon chives.

Yum, this looks amazing.

Unfortuanately, I'll need to invite 17 friends over, so I don't eat too many servings. Hmmm, maybe I'll try to cut the receipe in half.
