Now, these might sound a little odd – but it is just an Omelette/Fritatta, but made in a cupcake case to make it look a little bit different. When I served these at a party, people asked them what they were and I said “egg cupcakes”. That makes it sound like it is just egg and flour or something. But once they tried them, they were a hit.
The great thing about them, like omelettes, is that you can put so many different ingredients in them to suit your guests tastes.
Makes 12
Ingredients:
- 10 eggs
- 100ml/0.4 cup skimmed milk
- Half a red pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 60g/2oz low fat cheddar cheese, grated
1) Whisk the eggs and add the milk. Divide the mixture between 12 re-usable cupcake case place on a baking tray. Then divide the red pepper and parsley between them all.
2) Bake at 180/350/Gas Mark 4 for 20 minutes. Then sprinkle over the cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.
Silly question, but a re-usable cupcake case? Can i just make them in a muffin pan with no liner?
can they be frozen? how long do they keep in the fridge? and how long to you reheat them for?
Really good idea, will be giving them a try today, so different, yet so easy for a on the go snack.
Thanks
