Quiche—hold the crust and the work!

　　

Ingredients

12 mini frittatas

　　3 tablespoons melted butter

　　1/4 pound deli-sliced Swiss cheese, finely chopped

　　1/4 pound ham steak or Canadian bacon, finely chopped

　　A splash of milk or half-and-half

　　3 tablespoons snipped or chopped fresh chives

　　Salt and freshly ground black pepper

　　A few drops of hot sauce

　　8 large eggs, well beaten

　　

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

　　

Step 2

Brush a 12-muffin tin liberally with the butter. Divide the chopped cheese and ham evenly among the muffin cups. Add the milk, chives, salt and pepper, and hot sauce to the eggs and fill the cups up to just below the rim with the egg mixture. Bake the frittatas until golden and puffy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a plate with a small spatula and serve.

　　

Step 3

Alternative fillings: You can also try defrosted chopped frozen broccoli and shredded Cheddar, or chopped cooked bacon with shredded smoked Gouda and sautéed mushrooms.
