Yield: 12 frittatas
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease 12 muffin tins generously with cooking spray or use paper liners for easy removal.
- Saute the finely chopped onions and minced garlic in a drizzle of olive oil until they turn translucent and fragrant.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned and cooked through, then drain any excess fat.
- Microwave or steam-cook the frozen hash browns until they are just tender, being careful not to overcook them.
- Combine the sauteed onions, garlic, cooked sausage, and microwaved hash browns in a mixing bowl. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and toss everything together until well mixed.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tins, filling each one to the top.
- In a separate bowl, whip together the eggs and egg whites until frothy. Stir in the oregano, marjoram, sage, and tarragon, ensuring that the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the seasoned egg mixture over the potato and sausage mixture in the muffin tins, ensuring that each tin is evenly filled.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and lightly golden on top.
- After baking, turn off the oven but leave the frittatas inside to sit for an additional 10 minutes. This allows them to firm up slightly and makes them easier to remove from the tins.
- Serve the frittatas warm, either on their own or accompanied by a dollop of plain yogurt mixed with biscuit mix for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
Indulge in the delightful medley of flavors and textures offered by Blumenthal’s Small Frittatas, a recipe that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, one delicious bite at a time.
