Pea, feta and prosciutto frittatas are a delightful dish that combines the savory flavors of prosciutto, the creamy tang of feta cheese, and the fresh notes of peas and chives. These mini frittatas are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch, and they are easy to prepare with just a few simple ingredients.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is hot and ready by the time you’ve prepped your ingredients.
- Take the 3 slices of prosciutto and cut them into small pieces. You can chop them finely or tear them into rustic pieces, depending on your preference.
- If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds and then drain. If using frozen peas, ensure they are thawed.
- Finely chop the chives and set them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add the 2 tablespoons of light sour cream. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
- Add the chopped prosciutto, peas, crumbled feta, and chopped chives into the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
- Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent the frittatas from sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This should make around 6-8 mini frittatas depending on the size of your muffin cups.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the frittatas are set and slightly golden on top. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a frittata; if it comes out clean, they are done.
- Once baked, remove the frittatas from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges of each frittata to loosen and then carefully remove them from the tin.
- Serve the pea, feta, and prosciutto frittatas warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or some crusty bread.
