Prosciutto Mini Frittatas

Total time: 35 minutes
       These Frittatas look like cupcakes but are actually fluffy eggs, mixed with small bits of anything savory. These have bits of Prosciutto and cheese. They can be served, hot, warm or cold and are great to do ahead for a party or, in summer, a picnic.

 Ingredients:

• 3 slices Prosciutto, 2.5oz (75gr)
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup (1.5oz, 45gr) shredded cheese, your choice, I used Gruyère
  1 tbs chives, fresh or dried
• butter or cooking spray
• olives for garnish   if you have them 

 Instructions:

• Roughly chop Prosciutto. 
• *Butter or spray a nonstick muffin (tartlet) pan, one that holds 6.  I know it sounds redundant to butter a nonstick pan but these will stick if you don't. 
• Divide the cheese, Prosciutto and chives evenly between the cups.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. 
• Using a ladle or spoon divide mixture evenly between the cups. 
• Bake at 400F (200C) for 12 - 15 minutes or until set. 
• Frittatas will puff up considerably and then fall when removed from oven.  Allow to cool 5 - 10 minutes before removing from pan; they will start to come away from the sides of the pan as they fall making them easier to get out. 
• Serve with a garnish of olives or sliced cherry tomatoes, warm or at room temperature.

*Note:  if your muffin pan is silicone you do not need to butter it.
