Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 0.75 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 0.5 cups ham, diced
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Grate the zucchini and use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, corn kernels, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly distributed.
Divide the vegetable and ham mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling in each muffin cup, ensuring the liquid reaches just below the rim of the cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed and set in the middle (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean).
Allow the frittatas to cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them using a small spatula.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
