Well it's over a year now since bundle of joy number two arrived and despite frequent attempts to start exercising properly, eat more healthily and regain a more streamlined figure, I am yet to succeed. Of course I have many excuses. The biggest being my perceived lack of time to get things done, like cook healthy meals in the evening rather than reaching for something quick and processed from the freezer, or eating crisps and sweets at lunchtime rather than preparing a more nutritious packed lunch. However I recently stumbled across a recipe for these little gems, which can be batch cooked and provide a low carb, protein high snack for lunch or breakfast.

Mini Egg Frittatas

Ingredients:

2 tsps wholegrain mustard
6 eggs
Pinch of salt and pepper
4oz mature cheddar cheese
4oz chopped ham or pancetta
1 tomato finely chopped
2oz finely chopped onion

Method:

Preheat your oven to gas mark 5 and lightly grease a 12 hole baking tray
Whisk your eggs, mustard and seasoning and set aside
In a large bowl mix together your cheese, onion, ham and tomato before dividing equally between the twelve holes in your baking tray
Now equally divide the egg mixture between the twelve holes before baking in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown on top
Leave to cool slightly before popping out of your baking tray - delicious hot or cold!

Why not change the filling ingredients, feta cheese and spinach is another favourite in our house.
