I am watching Everyday Italian and she is making a frittata and instead of putting it in a large skillet, she is doing individual ones in a mini muffin pan. We have several recipes for frittatas so this would be something that the new consultants could do since they don't get a family skillet in their kit. I don't know if it would take two batches but if so, they could keep half for home for their family and half at the show.
 
Can you give us an idea of how she made them?
 
Basically, take any quiche filling and put it into the MMP without crust. Use the small or medium scoop. Bake as directed for mini quiches. They'll puff up a little, but will fall a bit as they cool. Let them set for a couple of minutes before you pop them out of the pan.
 
GREAT idea for my brunch coming up.
 
Hi there! I love that you are watching Everyday Italian and getting some great ideas for our pampered chef business. Using a mini muffin pan for frittatas is a fantastic idea, especially for new consultants who may not have a large skillet in their kit yet. It's a great way to showcase our frittata recipes and also provide a tasty treat for both the consultant and their guests. Plus, it's a fun and unique way to present the dish. Thanks for sharing this tip with our community! Happy cooking!

How do I clean a mini muffin pan?

Cleaning a mini muffin pan is similar to cleaning a standard muffin pan. Start by soaking the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes to loosen any baked-on residue. Then, use a sponge or brush to scrub the pan, paying extra attention to the crevices between the cups. Rinse the pan well and dry it with a clean towel or air dry.

Can I use a mini muffin pan in the microwave?

Most mini muffin pans are not microwave safe and should not be used in the microwave. The metal material of the pan can cause sparks and potentially damage the microwave. It is best to use a microwave-safe container for heating or cooking food in the microwave.

What materials are mini muffin pans made of?

Mini muffin pans are typically made of metal, such as aluminum or steel. Some pans may also have a non-stick coating for easy release of baked goods. It is important to check the manufacturer's instructions for the specific pan to determine the materials it is made of and how to properly care for it.
