Gluten-Free Mini Ham & Mushroom Frittatas Recipe

By: Gillian Olins on March 1, 2014

A frittata is an Italian dish similar to an omelette or quiche (without the crust) with added ingredients, such as meats, cheeses, and vegetables. These mini-frittatas make a “delightful, gluten-free bite-full”! They can be served hot or cold. We suggest providing some spring greens or halved cherry tomatoes tossed in vinaigrette as an optional accompaniment.

3 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped
6 medium eggs
4 ounces lean ham, chopped
4 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese
6 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (more if preferred)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms in 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil for 2 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Beat in the ham, cream cheese, green onions, mushrooms, and hot pepper sauce, and season with salt and pepper.

Lightly grease 12 cups of a mini-muffin pan with the remaining oil. Pour the egg mixture into the cups (make sure the contents of the mixture are evenly distributed), and bake for 20 minutes.
