Mini Baked Frittata with Ham, Jalapeno, Sharp Cheddar, Tomatoes, and Cilantro

Mini Baked Frittata with Ham, Jalapeno, Sharp Cheddar, Tomatoes, and Cilantro

I love making individual frittatas for lunch. They are easy to make, healthy, and a great way to use up leftovers in your refrigerator.  I am surprised that I have never tried adding cilantro to my frittatas before – it made such a wonderful addition to this dish.  I loved the combination of flavors – spicy from the jalapenos, salty from the cheese & ham, and sweet from the baked tomatoes.  I have a feeling I will be making this again very soon!

  1. You are the Queen of baked eggs and frittatas, Pam! Seriously, whenever I need an egg recipe I always use yours. They are amazing! Cilantro is one of those herbs that people either love or hate. Me? I LOVE cilantro! I have everything I need in my fridge to make this…I know what’s for lunch today!

  2. Damn, I WANT THAT DISH. Is it a bad sign to have plate envy? I want this as bad as I want Kim’s (Stirring the Pot) similar mini cast iron dishes.

  3. I found a recipe like this on the Eating Well web site quite a while ago. I think theirs called for brussel sprouts and potato. I had the leftover roasted sprouts from the night before, microwaved the potato and added scallions too. I also used egg substitute since I have a cholesterol problem. You are correct, you can really use just about any leftovers. I am going to try the cilantro next time and I have some jalapenos in the freezer from my garden, but *sigh* no more home grown tomatoes until next summer.

  4. This frittata is perfect for small meals for me since my hubby won’t eat frittatas, quiche, or omellets! Love the ingredients in these!

    I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season if I don’t get to visit you during this busy time!

    Ciao,
