MINI HAM AND SWISS FRITTATAS
These little frittatas are so quick and easy, and my husband and kids just gobble them up. Make them in a 24 cup mini-muffin tin. I first had these at a neighborhood breakfast, and my neighbor added fresh onions and veggies, but this is great for making on nights when there isn't much in the fridge!

Tips
- Choose your ingredients wisely. The best frittatas are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheeses, and avoiding processed meats and cheeses.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking your frittatas, be sure to leave some space between each one so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the frittatas over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside and ensure that they are cooked through on the inside.
- Don't flip the frittatas. Unlike pancakes or omelets, frittatas are not flipped during cooking. This is because they are cooked slowly and evenly from the bottom up.
- Let the frittatas cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion
Frittatas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftovers. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a frittata that everyone will love.
