Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent the frittatas from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the light sour cream and grated Parmesan cheese to the eggs. Whisk well to incorporate. This will add creaminess and flavor to your frittatas.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the egg mixture. Garlic adds a lovely depth of flavor.
Add the peas, spearmint, and chopped scallions to the egg mixture. Stir well to distribute the veggies and herbs evenly throughout the mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be mindful that both Parmesan and feta cheeses are salty, so you might need less salt.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin or frittata molds, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of each frittata.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the frittatas have set and are golden brown on top. They should spring back when gently pressed in the center.
Remove the frittatas from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Use a spatula or knife to carefully loosen the edges and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Serve your pea, mint, and feta frittatas warm or at room temperature. They make a perfect breakfast, brunch, or light lunch option.
