Individual Pepper & Corn Frittatas

Serves 8

Frittatas are great party food because they can be made ahead of time and served warm or even at room temperature.     
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

  • 8 green onions (white and light green parts), sliced
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen white or yellow corn kernels
  • 1 Tbs. dried oregano
  • 2 tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. salt

  • 1 plum tomato, cut into 8 equal slices
  • 2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish, optional
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Coat 8 6-oz. ramekins or oven-proof custard cups with nonstick cooking spray. Set ramekins on baking sheet.
  2. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add red peppers, green onions and corn, and cook, stirring often, 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat, stir in oregano, cumin, salt and chile powder. Let cool.
