Mini- Frittatas

These are like mini-omelettes. We made these and took them to our New Years Eve party in 2009.

Ingredients

• melted butter (to brush in mini-muffin pans)
  
• 8 ex-large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk (or 1/4 cup home made Ranch dressing and 1/4 cup milk)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cooked, crumbled bacon or 4 oz ham, diced
• 1 scallion finely chopped
  
• 1/3 cup freshly grated mild cheddar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Coat the cups of 3 mini muffin tins (each with 24 cups) with butter. Saute scallions in a little butter. Whisk the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt in a large bowl to blend well. Stir in the bacon, cheese, and scallions. Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full with the egg mixture. Bake until the egg mixture puffs and is just set in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, or thin knife to loosen the frittatas from the muffin cups and slide the frittatas onto a platter. Serve hot.
