Prosciutto-wrapped mini frittata muffins are a delightful and nutritious breakfast or snack option. These savory muffins are packed with vegetables and enveloped in crispy prosciutto, making them both delicious and protein-rich. Using simple ingredients like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach, you can create a balanced and flavorful dish that is sure to impress.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
3. Sauté Vegetables:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the pan and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Add the coconut milk, coconut flour, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
5. Combine with Vegetables:
- Stir the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
6. Prepare Prosciutto:
- Line each muffin cup with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the bottom and sides are covered. The prosciutto slices should hang slightly over the edges of the muffin cups.
7. Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prosciutto-lined muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top.
8. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the frittata muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove each muffin and transfer to a wire rack to cool further or serve warm.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the vegetables to remove excess moisture and enhance their flavors. This will prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.
- Grease your muffin tin or use silicone muffin cups to ensure the muffins don't stick.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups; leave some space for the frittatas to rise while baking.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables, or add some cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
- Watch the muffins closely toward the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Prosciutto-wrapped mini frittata muffins are a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed anytime.
