Mini Frittatas with Ham and Cheese

Bake these bite-sized frittatas in a miniature muffin pan. They taste great hot or at room temperature, so you can make them in advance.

Ingredients
Cooking spray
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2/3 cup chopped reduced-fat ham (about 2 ounces)
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 large egg whites
1 large egg


Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add ham; sauté 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Add ham mixture, stirring with a whisk. Spoon mixture into 24 miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until set.

Yield
8 servings (serving size: 3 frittatas)

I don't always post on these threads, but thank you so much for posting so many wonderful healthier recipes...I appreciate it and have tried some of the recipes you've posted...loooove the salsa chicken!

Ummm, actually a better bet would probably just to bake it in a 13X9 inch pan and then cut into 24 pieces. I don't know what the nutritional info would be with the bigger frittatas. But by cutting into 24 pieces it would be exactly the same as the mini frittatas.

Your welcome!

Salsa Chicken is a fav of mine too!! In fact, I might just make it tonight!!! It's SO easy and it's a nice size portion and filling!

Sorry girl!! In a few more weeks you will probably crave them again!!

I'm not even craving chocolate anymore :sad: ... that's including Nutella!!:ohwell:

I feel your pain! I was like that from about week 6 until week 9! I am not doing too bad now. At least with the nausea.

One thing I found that helped. If you can force yourself to eat something that includes both complex carbs and protein....about mid-morning.....it seemed to help keep me feeling decent the rest of the day.

Maybe a whole grain english muffin with a little peanut butter (and maybe some sliced banana) Something like that.

JasiBella

I've noticed that too. I have to force myself to eat and then I feel better. But an hour later I'm feeling like $h!t again. Oh the joys of pregnancy!

At least we have each other and the rest of the preggo's on here!! LOL!

I will be 11 weeks on Friday (ALMOST in 2nd trimester) and my nausea has eased this past week a lot. Maybe it will be the same for you. I am still super tired and get dizzy still though!! :ohwell:

Mom_To_5

what is the salsa chicken you are talking about?

The nausea was short with my 2 other pregnancies. I was tired a lot with Sara. I was too busy working while pregnant with Alina to even notice anything. I'm not throwing up a lot though. Only twice but not much at all.

Making these for my playdate here soon and want it handy!! LOL!

This does look delicious. I think I might even be able to get my husband to eat these.

I am not sure if I am doing my math right, but if you used a regular size muffin pan, which probably has 12 sections, wouldn't that be 1 1/2 muffins is a serving if compared with the 3 mini-muffins.

So for the nutrition facts for say 2 regular size muffins would be:

Cal 58.5
Fat 1.95
Carbs 3.45
Sod 181.5
Prot 6.6
Fiber 0.6

Maybe someone can confirm my math on this.

Where do you get all these yummy ones from?

TamTastic

The majority of the recipes I post are from Cooking Light.com. I LOVE that website!!

Glad you enjoyed these!

Mom_To_5

Mom_To_5

Hmm, that's strange. Here is the link again. I just go there, go to the Food part at the top and then scroll down to recipes and do a search. You can find a part that says "enhanced search" so you can narrow down what you are looking for.

http://www.cookinglight.com/


I know there are links to other recipes there....through different publications. Maybe that's what happened. I don't know. I generally stick to Cooking Light recipes only.

Mom_To_5

thanks, ii did that and some recipes are cooklight and others are all recipes, i'll just have to plaly around with it more wheni have time

Mom_To_5

bump, someone was looking for this recipe
