Description

Patty pan squash joins chorizo sausage, goat cheese, and Parmesan in this fun recipe for mini breakfast frittatas.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 patty pan squash
2 medium scallions, sliced, white and green parts divided
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup brewed coffee or espresso, at room temperature
4 large eggs
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 small tomato, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 5-inch squares of parchment paper into 8 cups of a muffin tin, creasing where necessary.
2 Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in patty pan, scallion whites, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened and garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
3 Add sausage to the same skillet and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add sausage to patty pan mixture.
4 Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Fold in goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, and tomato. Add hot sauce and season with salt and pepper. Fold in patty pan-sausage mixture. Ladle frittata mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling to the top of each cup and overfilling only if the parchment paper can support the mixture.
5 Place muffin tin on top of a cookie sheet in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until egg is set, about 20 minutes.
6 Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly and top with scallion greens.
