Mini Vegetable Frittatas

Jen T's Note:

I found this among my printed out recipes from last year. I have no idea now where it came from as I had cut it to fit in my folder. They are very easy to make and are great for lunch boxes. They also go well with a salad for a tasty lunch/brunch or supper. **Note I use non stick metal muffin pans which I give a light quick burst of rice bran oil cooking spray, (from a can).

Nice flavours and super easy to make. I thought the sunflower seeds were a nice addition as they toasted in the oven and gave a nice nutty crunch to the frittatas. I used brown rice flour to suit my gluten-free diet. I thought the frittatas were difficult to remove from my silicon muffin pans when first out of the oven but they were easier after about 5 minutes. I think I shoukd have added less oil and more flour....but that was my mistake with my first attempt at this recipe and trying to make gf suitable. Thought these were great a room temp

ABSOLUTELY GREAt TASTING FRITTATAS, & as with others who made this recipe, I did not include the oil! Originally I was going to cut the recipe in half, but am glad I didn't 'cause these are so satisfying that they're great for any meal of the day! I'll definitely be keeping this recipe on hand!

We really enjoyed these! I added a yellow squash, and used feta for the cheese. I also omitted the oil based on other reviews and it worked out really well. Thanks for a great dinner!
