Description

These delightful frittata cups capture the essence of spring with their bright, fresh flavors. Imagine the gentle tang of lemon zest dancing with the subtle bite of scallions and the herbaceous aroma of fresh dill, all mingling harmoniously within a fluffy egg base. The inclusion of salmon not only elevates the taste but also adds a satisfying richness to each bite.

The texture is a wonderful contrast of soft and yielding egg, tender flakes of salmon, and the slight wilt of spinach. The spinach, with its mild earthiness, provides a vibrant green hue, making these frittata cups visually appealing. These little cups of goodness are incredibly versatile, adapting to various occasions and preferences.

Whether you're rushing to start your day, enjoying a relaxed brunch, planning a picnic, or seeking a satisfying afternoon snack, these frittata cups are an excellent choice. They are also light enough to serve as a simple yet flavorful dinner. Their kid-friendly size and delicious taste make them ideal for lunchboxes, ensuring even the pickiest eaters get a nutritious and enjoyable meal.

Serve them warm or cold, alongside a colorful array of low-FODMAP vegetables or a crisp, refreshing salad for a complete and balanced meal. The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility. Feel free to use any pre-cooked salmon you have on hand, whether it's canned salmon, roasted or poached fillets, or even smoked salmon for a more intense flavor.

Rainbow trout also makes a delicious substitute, offering a slightly different but equally enjoyable taste profile. To store, simply place the frittata cups in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days. Reheat them gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through, and enjoy the taste of spring any time of day.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Coat a muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray. Finely dice the green ends from 2-3 scallions and roughly chop the dill, set them aside. Grate the lemon zest with the fine edge of a box grater and then juice the lemon. In a large bowl or quart-size measuring jug, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions, and dill.
    2.
    Roughly chop the spinach and shred the salmon. Equally, distribute the spinach at the base of the muffin tray. Sprinkle the salmon over the spinach.
    3.
    Use a ladle, or pour (directly from the jug) the egg mixture equally between each muffin cavity. Keep stirring the mixture to ensure the herbs and scallions don’t sink to the bottom and drop into the last few muffins. You can use a spoon to evenly distribute them if needed.
    4.
    Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before removing from their casing. They can be served hot, or cold straight from the fridge.
