Sample Recipe: Custard Cup Frittatas

Individual frittatas packed with veggies and topped with cheddary cheese…and “portion control”, too! Enjoy them topped with cheese straight from the ramekin or run a knife around the outer edges, flip them onto a plate and crown them with cheese…either way, they’re colorful and very very satisfying!

 

Hands On Time: 16 minutes

Hands Off Time: 26 minutes

Total Time: 42 minutes (plus 5 minutes stand time)

Serves: 4

Serving Size: 1 cup

 

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed

1 cup chopped kale

1 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 cup finely chopped green onion (green and white parts total)

4 eggs

4 egg whites

1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves

1/4 tsp. plus 1/8 tsp. salt, divided use

1 cup water

2 oz. grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese

 

Directions

1. Coat four (6-oz.) ramekins with cooking spray. Divide the corn, kale, bell pepper and onions evenly between the ramekins. Press down with back of spoon to pack slightly.
2. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, thyme and 1/4 tsp. salt in a 2-cup measuring cup with a spout or a medium bowl and slowly pour over each serving. Coat four 6-inch squares of foil with cooking spray and cover cups individually with a sheet of foil, coated side down.
3. Add 1 cup water to pressure cooker pot, add trivet and 3 ramekins. Stack the fourth ramekin on top of other ramekins. Seal lid, close valve, press Manual button to 10 minutes. Use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes followed by a quick pressure release.
4. When valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove ramekins and remove foil. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/8 tsp. salt and cheese. Let stand 5 minutes for peak flavors and texture.

 

Cook’s Note: When coating ramekins with cooking spray, place the ramekins in your kitchen sink and spray them there rather than on your counter or holding them in the air…it makes for an easy cleanup!

 

Cook’s Note: Thaw frozen veggies fast by placing in a colander and running under cold water until they are flexible. Drain well before using.
