Potato Chip Frittata Muffins

Waking up 'late' on a Sunday morning is one of the best moments which I always look forward for as it is then I feel relaxed, tension-free & all geared up for the upcoming week. Hey I am true Libran, you can expect me to be a bit lazy. :).
As I was skimming through my bookmarks this morning, I came across this Frittata muffin recipe. I was not sure how adding potato chips would make any difference to our usual frittata and oh boy! trust me it does. I used some salt & vinegar chips which I got last night and they tasted delicious.
One can use any flavor of potato chips and I am sure they would taste equally yummy!!.

Potato-Chip Frittata Muffins (Adapted from epicurious)

Ingredients:

6 eggs
2 tbsp milk
salt & pepper
1/2 cup spinach
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
a handful of potato chips, crushed
1 tsp extra virgin oil

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Whisk in a bowl- eggs, milk with salt & pepper.

2. Heat oil in a pan, saute onion, tomatoes and spinach for 2-3 mins. Add this to the egg mixture.

3. Grease the muffin pan with oil and fill it some cheese and egg mixture - until three-quarters full. (Tip: If you have any empty cups left, fill them with some water to bake all the muffins evenly.)

4. Bake for 8 minutes and then sprinkle crushed potato chips over each of them. Bake for 5-6 more mins. Let them sit for a minute or so. Run a knife around the edges to loosen. Serve!!

As this is one of those breakfasts I truly enjoyed, I am sending this to Divya's 'Show me your breakfast' event :)

Coming up next is AWED: Srilanka roundup and I truly apologize for the delay. I was caught with an urgent deadline at work and blogging had to take a back-step for a while.

Hope you have a great week ahead.
