Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quinoa Mini Frittatas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and greasing six muffin cups to ensure your frittatas pop out easily.
Step 2
In a saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium-low, cover it up, and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the water has disappeared.
Step 4
While that’s cooking, grab a large bowl and combine the fluffy quinoa with eggs, egg whites, shredded zucchini, Swiss cheese, diced ham, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of ground white pepper.
Step 5
Mix everything together until it’s a delightful, colorful blend.
Step 6
Now, scoop the mixture into your prepared muffin cups, filling them right to the brim for a generous serving.
Step 7
Slide the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for around 30 minutes, or until the edges of your frittatas turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 8
Once they’re done, let them cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes—this will make them easier to handle.
Step 9
Enjoy these tasty bites warm or at room temperature; they’re perfect for any time of day!.
