How to Make Mini Vegetable Frittata
Frittate, as they are called in Italy, can be downsized into mini portions for the perfect low carb breakfast on-the-go. This version calls for mushrooms, leeks, and zucchini, but you could make these with any seasonal vegetables. Try artichokes and asparagus in the spring, tomatoes and eggplant in the summer, or fennel and roasted peppers in the fall.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a large, wide, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden (about 4 minutes). Add the mushrooms and zucchini, and cook until browned (about 4 minutes). Add the leeks, stir, and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside until cooled.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, basil leaves, and pecorino cheese. Add the cooled vegetables to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
- Grease a 12-hole muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and distribute the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the holes, filling each 1/2-3/4 of the way. Put muffin tin in the oven and bake until the frittata tops are golden and the eggs are set, about 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and serve.
