I just got these ramekins from Chennai recently. I had been looking out for these for quite some time. So when I finally got them, I had to bake and bake urgently. And what more could I ask for? I got the right excuse to bake through my brother.I went ahead and experimented this frittata on my brother's birthday. My mom was down with an allergy and could not have anything spicy. Yet, she loved this frittata. I find this a wholesome meal for a breakfast..Unlike omelettes and boiled eggs that require toasted bread as an accompaniment frittatas are quite filling. Until I came across frittatas, my family diet of eggs was always limited to egg currys, boiled eggs and omelettes. The idea of baking eggs is quite uncommon to our cuisine and it has been an exciting experience. Hope you love it too.
Ingredients for Frittata
Eggs- 5
Potato diced- 1
Tomatoes chopped- 1
Onion chopped- 1
Capsicum diced- 1
Sausages sliced- 4
Pepper crushed- 4-6
Sweet basil- 1 tbsp
Salt- to taste
Oil- 2 tbsp
Directions
Whip the eggs with a pinch of salt and set it aside. In a pan heat the oil and saute the onions, potato and capsicum till they are half cooked. Add the sausages and saute for 2 minutes.
Cool the ingredients and add them to the beaten eggs. Butter the ramekins. Add the spices and tomatoes to the egg mix and pour them into the ramekins. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
The eggs would have risen by now with a little browning on the top. Insert a fork and check if the frittatas are well cooked.
I have tried another version in a previous post with spinach and mushroom too. The best part of this recipe is that you can have your eggs with a lot of ingredients and its oil free. I could go on and on , on my ramekins and frittatas but that would never express my experience judiciously. So go ahead folks and enjoy.
