Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly in cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
- Roughly chop the spinach leaves.
- Drain the sun-dried tomatoes if they are packed in oil and chop them into small pieces.
- Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes until they are golden and fragrant; set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack and beat the eggs until fully blended.
- Add the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and toasted pine nuts to the beaten eggs.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top.
- You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the frittatas cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
- Use a small knife to gently loosen the edges, then carefully lift each frittata out.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For the best texture, use fresh spinach, but if you use frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding it to the eggs.
- Consider using a non-stick muffin tin or silicone muffin cups to make removing the frittatas easier and to reduce the need for additional oil.
- You can toast the pine nuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for extra flavor before adding them to the mixture.
- Be sure to season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to enhance the overall taste of the frittatas.
- Allow the frittatas to cool slightly before removing them from the tin to help them set and hold their shape better.
