Eggcellent Easter
April 9, 2012
Hi all! Happy Easter!! How was your weekend?? If you may noticed, my blog got a bit of a makeover. I figured it was about time I changed it up. A big thank you to Zesty Blog Consulting for helping to make my blog look just fabulous!
I had a weekend full of work and fun! I cranked out quite a few hours of good school work Saturday. It’s so nice when you are in the groove and able to get work done (which hasn’t been me lately). Since I worked hard during the day, I relaxed with swanky boyfriend in the evening, where he treated me to a delicious home cooked dinner.
I thought I would return the favor, and decided to make him a special Easter morning breakfast!
I don’t know about you but mini foods are just so darn fun and adorable. These mini frittatas would be a fabulous option to serve for brunch, btw. 
Mini Frittatas (serves 9)
Ingredients:
- 2 large white button mushrooms (about 1/2 cup), thinly chopped
- 4 asparagus stalks (about 1/4 cup), thinly chopped
- 2 ounces colby jack cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by heating oil in pan. Add asparagus and mushrooms.
Sauté asparagus and mushroom until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Next, beat eggs until combined.
Add in scallions…
mushrooms, asparagus, and sliced cheese.
Mix well to combine. Add salt and pepper as desired.
Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray and fill tins with egg mixture about 3/4 to the top.
Bake for 25 minutes or until frittatas look slightly browned.

These are too stinkin’ adorable!
There are so many options with these minis. The boy and I even talked of making a Mexican inspired variety with beans and peppers.
These are simple, yet satisfying. Filled with protein and fiber, these mini frittatas are a great way to start your morning.
I may just have to host my own brunch so I have another excuse to make these cuties!
I served them alongside with fruit. This breakfast almost canceled out the Easter candy we may or may not have eaten at 9 am in the morning. 
The rest of the day was actually quite busy. We went to church, went to visit his family, then went to visit my family! Whew!
Tony’s mom reminds me a lot of mine. She is very crafty and loves to entertain. She had all sorts of Easter candy and other treats! She even made us each our own Easter egg with our names on them.
His mom is also like my mom in the fact that she is an amazing cook. Her salsa is out of this world delicious! I told her I need to get the recipe.
Tony’s brother’s girlfriend made strawberry shortcake on a stick. Such a neat idea!
And if the boy’s mom wasn’t great enough, she made my favorite treat of all time…chocolate covered strawberries. YUM!
There was so much delicious food and lots of leftovers. I had such a wonderful Easter!
Stay tuned for my upcoming TV segment that I’ll be doing Monday. I am a bit nervous since I didn’t get as much time to practice, but I will go through it a couple more times tonight. Fingers crossed!
Have a fabulous night! Thanks for reading!
How was your Easter?

I love making mini fritattas in muffin tins. And I often make them for Easter (but I didn’t this year).
Love the strawberry shortcake on a stick idea! So pretty!
Have a great week!
Yes, it’s such a fun idea!
Thanks Andrea! You too!
I LOVE the new layout! So fun and chic–perfect for a *swanky* gal like yourself.
I completely agree with you that mini foods are irresistibly fun to eat! I like making muffin tin frittatas and freezing them for quick grab-n-go breakfasts. I’ll have to try your recipe (love the addition of asparagus!) next time.
It looks and sounds like you had a wonderful Easter! If you manage to get that salsa recipe, please do share! xoxo
Love the new blog look! It looks like you had an awesome Easter. I love the mini frittatas. If you are interested in little muffin tin prepared foods, check out the Muffin Tin Cookbook by Brette Sember, and yes, this is a project I worked on. As soon as my copies arrive I plan to give a copy away on my blog! I love the concept. I’ll have to give your recipe a try too. I could even make it this week because it would work for Passover. Have a great Monday!
LOVE the new blog design!
And happy easter, looks like you guys had an awesome one! Good luck for your tv segment today, and don’t worry I am sure you will rock it!! Besides sometimes a little improv goes down a treat, you know your stuff girl so just have fun! 
Thanks, Hayley! That’s what I am hoping. Just get tongue tied and stumble over my words so easily. Each time though, I feel less nervous so that’s always a good sign.
the new look looks fabulous…as does all that food!
Thanks so much!!
The new blog look is fantastic!
Thanks so much, Beth!
How fun – love the idea of the mini frittatas. Everything looks great – sounds like a great day!
Looks like a simply amazing Easter! Those frittatas look unbelievable! Loving your new blog design! Did you redo it on your own or have someone else do it – I really need to get mine revamped. xo
Thanks Erica! I hired Zesty Blog Consulting (http://zestyblogconsulting.com/). They did a fantastic job making and made sure to get all the details I wanted correct.
I’m glad you had such a great Easter! All the food looks so delicious!
The mini frittatas are a great idea!
I had an awesome Easter driving around exploring our new town with my hubby. Missed the family though, this is my first Easter away from home.
Ah I LOVE the new blog look! Simple and a gorgeous layout. And look at that cute picture of you!
The mini-fritattas look amazing – I am pinning them right now to make in the next week or too. I bet they’d be great made ahead and then I could just heat them up before work in the morning!
I know I already said this but I really love the new blog design. It’s so “you” even though the only you I know is virtual lol ( we need to change that!). Looks like a wonderful Easter =)
Thanks so much!!
I know, we DO need to meet one of these days!
Love, love, LOVE the new look! So clean and easy to navigate! Love it!
The new look looks GREAT! So happy to see you had a fun Easter.
Re-doing my blog has been a project I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. Hopefully now that the internship is done with I’ll be able to get stuck into it!
Thanks so much, Lexie!
That’s how I felt. I finally told myself that I really need to do it.
I love tiny food – sliders, mini frittatas – love! Glad you had such a wonderful Easter – and you’ll do great!
I’m coming to your house next year.
How cute! I can only eat so much frittata at a time, so these would be perfect for me. And those choc. covered strawberries look heavenly!
