Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line 12 standard-size muffin tins with paper cupcake liners and spray well with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the quinoa, 1 cup cheddar cheese, chiles, corn, onion, salt, and pepper and mix.
- If adding bacon, stir that in now. If adding bacon to half, fill six of the muffin tins with the egg/quinoa then add the bacon to the bowl, stir, and fill the remaining muffin tins. Or, if you're skipping the bacon, forget what I just said and just fill the muffin tins to the top with the egg/quinoa mixture. I use an ice cream scoop - makes it easy!
- Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup cheddar over each.
- Bake for 18 - 20 minutes until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- These keep refrigerated for about 3 days in an airtight container, or freeze for up to several months.

- Add the corn and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens further but is still bright green. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, then top with the bacon.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the top is puffed and the eggs are cooked through.
- Garnish with parsley, then serve directly from the skillet.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your frittatas the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be just set, but not rubbery. Overcooked eggs will make the frittatas dry and tough.
- Let the frittatas cool slightly before serving: This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to eat.
- Serve the frittatas with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and hot sauce.
