MINI ITALIAN FRITTATAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil, including the top of the pan.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with a fork. Add the spinach, tossing with tongs, then cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes, tossing once while it cooks, until the spinach is all wilted. Off the heat, stir in the basil and lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes. Divide the mixture with tongs among the 12 muffin cups, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle the Fontina evenly on top.
- In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, beat the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each cup, filling the muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle each frittata with the Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the frittatas for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you insert a toothpick in the middle, they should feel firm. Cool for 5 minutes, remove with a small sharp knife onto a serving plate, and serve hot or warm.
EASY OVEN BAKED FRITTATA
Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
- In a non stick pan or baking dish (8-9 inch / 22 cm) add the olive oil and chopped pancetta and zucchini cook until golden brown. Stirring often so that they don't burn or stick to the pan.
- While the zucchini and pancetta are sauteeing, in a medium bowl beat together the eggs and parmesan cheese, stir in the parsley and pepper. Then pour the mixture into the pan with the cooked zucchini and pancetta, stir gently to combine.
- Place pan in pre-heated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. The Frittata is done when the eggs are puffed and opaque in colour. It should still wiggle just a tiny bit in the centre (don't worry it will continue to cook even when it's removed from the oven). Let sit 5 minutes then slice and serve. Enjoy!

ITALIAN SAUSAGE FRITTATA

BAKED RICE FRITTATA
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325°. Grease the inside of the skillet with 1 tablespoon of the soft butter, and coat the bottom and sides thoroughly with bread crumbs. Pour out any loose crumbs.
- Pour 4 cups of the milk into the large saucepan, and heat rapidly, stirring in the rice, 2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until the milk starts to boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, about 8 minutes, until the rice has a loose custard consistency. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the remaining cup of milk, cooling the rice slightly.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl, just to break them up. Pour or ladle in the hot rice gradually, whisking well between additions, to avoid scrambling the yolks. Whisk in the grated cheese and chopped scallions.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt with the electric mixer on medium-low speed until the whites become foamy, then raise the speed and whip just until they form soft peaks. Fold the whites into the rice batter with the wire whisk, gently turning them over and breaking up any large clumps, until incorporated.
- Pour the frittata batter into the skillet, and smooth the top. Set into the oven and bake for about an hour, until the frittata is nicely browned and a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the skillet on a cooling rack, and run the knife blade around the sides to loosen the frittata. Let it set for about 10 minutes before unmolding.
- When the frittata has cooled slightly, lay a wooden cutting board over the top of the skillet, hold the two together, and flip them over. Rap on the upturned bottom of the pan and give it a good shake to release the frittata. Present it on the board as is, or invert again onto a serving platter, browned side on top. Serve warm or at room temperature, sliced in wedges.

Tips:
- Use a large, ovenproof skillet that is at least 10 inches in diameter. This will ensure that the frittata cooks evenly and does not overflow.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat before adding the vegetables. This will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan and will also help to caramelize them slightly.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. This will help to ensure that they retain their flavor and texture in the frittata.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, and seasonings together in a large bowl until well combined. Then, pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Bake the frittata in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
