Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using a muffin tin, lightly grease it with a bit of oil or non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Wash and trim the asparagus, then cut it into 1-inch pieces.
- Shelled fresh or thaw frozen peas if needed.
- Thinly slice the scallions.
- Chop the fresh parsley and thyme finely.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. Then, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. Once cool, crumble or chop them into small pieces.
4. Blanch the Asparagus and Peas:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus pieces for about 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the peas during the last 30 seconds.
- Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, crack in the eggs and beat them until they are well combined.
- Add the blanched asparagus, peas, scallions, cooked bacon, chopped parsley, and thyme to the bowl. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour or spoon the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Make sure to get a good distribution of vegetables and bacon in each cup.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittatinis are set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the frittatinis from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes.
- Gently run a knife around the edges of each cup to release the frittatinis, then transfer them to a cooling rack or a serving plate.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve the spring veg & bacon frittatinis warm or at room temperature. They make a delicious breakfast, brunch, or snack!
Tips:
- Pre-cook the bacon until it is crispy to add a nice texture to the frittatinis.
- Blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water to achieve a tender-crisp texture before adding it to the mixture.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to ensure a light and fluffy consistency in your frittatinis.
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or silicone molds to make it easier to remove the frittatinis once they are cooked.
- Garnish with extra parsley and thyme for a fresh finish and extra flavor.
These Spring veg & bacon frittatinis are not only tasty but also a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire. By following these simple tips and steps, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Enjoy the fresh taste of spring with every bite!
