Make a super easy frittata for your guests.
Frittatas are incredibly easy and versatile. They can be made in a baking pan or dish, skillet, ramekins, or muffin tins sprayed with non-stick spray. Involve your guests (even the kids) by having a variety of chopped goodies arranged on a platter for them to fill a muffin cup with their favorite items (bacon, ham, cheese, red peppers, asparagus, or artichokes). Have the egg mixture ready and fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake at 350ºF for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your dish.
