Mini Egg-White Frittatas

I like "mini" things.

My ipod nano, travel size toiletries, fun size candy bars, those adorable little baby size Nike tennis shoes that somehow always induce a squeal response from me. Mini things are just so cute! (exception: minivans - hate them)

So when I came across this recipe for mini egg frittatas I knew I would love it. And I hope you do too!

Mini Egg-white Frittatas


3 cups liquid egg whites
1 cup chopped spinach
1 cup chopped bell peppers
1 finely chopped jalapeno (I like food that sets my  mouth on fire. you can skip if you can't take the heat)
1 TBSP Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning (or something similar)
(you can personalize this recipe by adding whatever veggies, spices, cooked meats you like)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Spray a normal muffin pan with non stick spray (12 slots)
3. Mix seasonings of choice with liquid egg whites and pour 1/4 cup in each muffin slot
4. Add chopped veggies (or other toppings) evenly among the 12 muffin slots
5. Bake in oven for approx. 20 minutes. (time may vary depending on how many toppings you add) They are done when firm when shaken and to the touch.

The great thing about this recipe is the ability to get creative in the kitchen. You can add whatever vegetables, seasonings, spices you can think of so the variations are endless! I've never made the same frittatas twice. I usually heat and serve with fresh salsa.

Eggs are an AMAZING food by the way. One egg contains 6 grams of protein and all 9 essential amino acids! So add some eggs into your life :)
