SRC: Secret Recipe Club March Reveal - Eat Little Eat Big

Secret Recipe ClubIt's time for the March Secret Recipe Club reveal...

What's the Secret Recipe Club? It's a group started by Amanda of Amanda's Cookin'. Each month, every participant is assigned to someone else's blog from which they pick a recipe - or two - to make and post, but it's all a secret until the big day. Today's the day. I always love a kitchen challenge and some culinary adventure.

This month I was assigned Eat Little Eat Big by Susie whose blog celebrates good, healthy everyday food. I was inspired by her mini-quiche recipe and fully embraced her invitation to "adapt to whatever you have on hand." Done.

Frittata (an Italian crustless quiche) is on my usual breakfast and brunch rotation, but I have never thought to put them in individual muffin liners to avoid buttering the baking dish.


In this case I spooned eggs, beaten with a splash of milk, into the paper liners. Then I dropped roughly a tablespoon's worth of ham, a teaspoon's worth of low-fat shredded mozzarella, and a teaspoon's worth of shredded parmesan cheese into each well. I sprinkled the tops with a dash of sweet paprika and some freshly ground smoked sea salt. I baked in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes till the egg was set. Delicious and hassle-free breakfast! Thanks for the inspiration, Susie.

Take 2: I liked this so much, I made them as a portable breakfast for my husband and his friend on a 36-hour road trip. This time I used a dry Spanish chorizo and shredded mozzarella. Fabulous and fast.

  2. I consider myself the queen of minis. I am always putting different food items into muffin cups so I welcome your frittata in a cup. I am not sure why but I think, it tastes better mini-sized.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
