Mini Frittatas with Spaghetti Squash
I love spaghetti squash. It was such a great discovery for me and is a staple for dinner at least once a week. You know who doesn’t love spaghetti squash? Joe. No big deal, he prefers to have his pasta sauce with actual pasta. Typical man, I guess. My only problem is I’m left with quite a lot of leftover spaghetti squash and I’ve been looking for ways to use up my overage. I saw this recipe floating around on Pinterest that used the squash in egg cups and I thought it was a great idea.
Caramelized onions are perfect in egg dishes, so the first order of business was to get the onions going.
Once the onions are nice and caramelized, add the cooked spaghetti squash to the pan. If you would like to use the method I use to make spaghetti squash, click here! Stir everything around and remove the pan from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together four eggs.
Since I like things on the spicier side I also incorporated some salsa into the mix. Salsa and eggs are a match made in heaven in my humble opinion. Everything is mixed together and poured into a greased muffin tin. I used a large measuring container with a spout to pour the mixture into the wells of the muffin tin. A nice sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan cheese and these protein and veggie packed cups were ready for the oven.
Once my little frittatas were cooked, I let them cool a tad then tried to pry them from the muffin tin. I must admit they did stick a bit the pan which was super annoying. I suppose I could have used liners. Anyone have experience using silicone liners? I’ve heard good things but for some reason they scare me a tad. Like they will leach something into my food. Something to investigate …
Anywho, this sticky situation didn’t affect the deliciousness of the finished product. Not only were these frittatas super tasty with a hint of spice, they had staying power. I had three of them for lunch and was barely hungry for dinner. Love that.
