Cooking=Therapy

It doesn't matter what day it is, cooking always makes me feel better. I cook when I need to clear my head, I cook when I am lonely and I cook when I am so excited I can't sit still. Nothing is better than eating something from scratch after slaving over it for an hour.. even if it tastes horrible. I have made a personal goal this past week to make something completely new every week. Tonight, I did just that. I got it from Rachel Ray and I think you should give this recipe a try.. I rate it a A- !!

Ham and Cheese Mini Frittatas (like quish with no crust)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound deli sliced Swiss cheese, finely chopped
  • 6 slices of Ham, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons snipped or chopped chives
  • A few grinds black pepper
  • 8 eggs, or 1 pint egg beaters
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix together the chopped cheese, Ham, and chives and season with a few grinds of pepper. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Brush the muffin tins with melted butter. Using a teaspoon, fill the 24 mini-muffin cups halfway with the cheese mixture. Using a ladle, fill the cups to just below the edge with the beaten eggs. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Remove and let cool to handle, then arrange the egg bites on a plate and serve.

It's better than it looks. Trust me.
