Mini Caprese Frittatas plus Giveaway


I have a little obsession with mini and individual size finger foods.  Maybe because I am always trying to accommodate the four little hands that are reaching out to me all day long as I am standing at the cutting board.

Little individual size portions and bites are so cute, perfect for portion control and as I have said before make an adorable presentation.  So when it came to whipping up a caprese frittata that is loaded with fresh basil, juicy tomatoes and creamy mozzarella I thought making them into little bites would be perfect for any occasion;  plus any excuse to break out the mini muffin pan.

Not only do I have an obsession with mini foods, I have an obsession with the ingredients in a caprese salad.  Seriously, basil, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella are considered staple ingredients in my kitchen.  So with Mother’s Day right around the corner, I thought these little bites would be a great addition for brunch.

I have some fun recipes coming up that are made in a mini muffin pan so I thought it would be fun to giveaway to one lucky reader a mini muffin pan as well.

  1. Wow that mini muffin pan is twice the size of the one I have now! I’ve been wanting to make bake doughnut holes using a mini muffin pan.

  2. My mind is reeling with all of the tiny yummies I could make in this pan… key lime cupcakes/cheesecakes, pecan-bourbon tartlets… Thank you for the chance to win and for your marvelous recipes and photographs.
