Why is it a favorite meal? I love breakfast for dinner, but mostly, they are so wonderful because they keep incredibly well as leftovers for lunch the next day!
Perfectly Portioned Frittata
Prep: 5 Minutes
Baking: 16 minutes
Ingredients:
6 eggs
6 slices prosciutto
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan
1/2 cup diced white onion
1 cup chopped spinach
2 cloves diced garlic
2 cups Alexia potato, hash brown, potato squares
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Then mix in basil, Parmesan, onion, spinach, garlic and Alexia potatoes.
Cut your slices of Prosciutto in half, as best you can and lay into 12-count muffin tin, like they are little cups.
• Note, skip this step for vegetarian version! Still delicious!
Use a 1/4cup scoop to put the mixture into your Prosciutto cups.
• Warning these rise a lot, so don’t overdo it!
Bake in oven for 15 to 18 minutes.
Makes 12 perfectly portioned mini frittatas! Serve with sliced tomato and Parmesan on toast. Serving size is 3 per person.
Thanks Elizabeth, and good luck! Readers, give Elizabeth a thumbs up if you like this recipe!
What are Alexia potatoes?
Are they a frozen potato product?
What would be the equivalent in fresh potatoes? Shredded blanched and dried potatoes perhaps?

I have made something similar for brunch: great idea.

@eanglin Looks like the instructions say hashbrowns or cubed potatoes... Alexia's a brand of organic potato products, they're pricey.

I made this for brunch this morning and have a few suggestions:
I made it vegetarian and even with cooking spray, most of the eggs stuck in my muffin pan, which is non-stick. Maybe butter would be better? I would also use another cheese besides Parmesan, which I did, but wasn't as cheesy as I had hoped. Maybe fres Mozzarella or Gruyere?
Overall, with a few tweaks, I would definitely make again, since it was nice to have my guests pick a few and still have room on their plate for other brunch items. They look nice, too.
p.s. I bought generic frozen has browns and they worked well.
