Need a suggestion of what to do with those extra, uncolored Easter eggs? How about whipping up a batch of these BeFit Frittatas for dinner. Bonus: any leftovers can be reheated for breakfast tomorrow. Note: you will need a muffin tin for this recipe.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into thin 1/8 inch slices
¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper
9 eggs, beaten
½ cup scallions, sliced
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
½ cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a sauté pan on moderately high heat; add 1½ tbsp olive oil to pan and then add zucchini slices; season with salt and pepper. Cook zucchini, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, scallions, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, and sundried tomatoes in a bowl. With remaining ½ tbsp olive oil grease 6 muffin cups of a muffin tin.
When zucchini is finished cooking, add to egg mixture; stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake about 10-15 minutes; sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top of each frittata and broil until cheese is melted and golden, about 1-2 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the muffin cups to loosen the frittata.
Yield: 6 frittatas
