MICROWAVE EGG FRITTATA
Spinach, bacon, cheese and tomatoes float in a fluffy frittata thats ready in just 3 minutes! My husband and I started the south beach diet and got tired of plain eggs and bacon after a few days. You can put almost anything into this to make it your own--we also like mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, tomato juice, ham, cheddar cheese, or even the eggs alone. I have it listed as a single recipe because it's more fun to choose your own veggie combination, but if you want to make it double sized, the microwave time increases to 6 1/2 minutes for a 3 cup round container, and up to 8 minutes for an 8x8-inch Pyrex.

Steps:
- Spray a microwave safe cereal sized bowl with the Pam.
- Wash the spinach, pat it dry, remove the stems, and tear it into edible sized pieces. (1/2 cup is my guess, I usually just grab a small fistful.) Toss into bottom of bowl.
- Either slice or dice the tomato and toss it inches Likewise with the bacon. Throw the cheese on top of that. (you can change any of the veggies to suit your tastes).
- Beat the two eggs and milk in a separate cup lightly with a fork, pour over the mess in the bottom of the bowl (a lot of the stuff will float, especially the spinach and bacon). Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes. (I don't know how many watts my microwave is--let it cook for about 20 seconds after the center puffs up even with the rest, and it should be done) Avoid overcooking or it will form a yucky crust of crunchy egg. The sooner you eat it, the fluffier it is. After 15 minutes of sitting, it will be cold, and about half of the size it was coming out of the microwave. I don't recommend letting it sit that long.
Tips:
- Choose the right pan: A microwave-safe pan with a wide, flat bottom is essential for making a frittata. This will ensure that the frittata cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
- Prepare your vegetables: If you're using vegetables in your frittata, be sure to chop them into small pieces so that they cook evenly. You can also sauté the vegetables in a little bit of oil before adding them to the frittata mixture, which will help to enhance their flavor.
- Don't overcook the frittata: Frittatas are best when they're cooked just until set. Overcooking will make the frittata tough and dry.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the frittata from falling apart.
- Serve the frittata with your favorite toppings: Frittatas are delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Microwave frittatas are a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little bit of planning, you can create a frittata that's packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give a microwave frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
