Description

Savory bites of quinoa, eggs, zucchini, cheese, and ham are equally excellent hot or cold. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup diced ham
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 muffin cups.
2 Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
3 Combine cooked quinoa, eggs, egg whites, zucchini, Swiss cheese, ham, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and white pepper in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture to the top of each prepared muffin cup.
4 Bake in preheated oven until the edges of frittatas are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes in the pan before serving. Serve hot or cold.
