Christmas Cooking

Hi Everyone,
Its festival time. Everyone is getting ready for Christmas and anywhere you go the mood is already festive. We too had a Christmas Party (only girls!!!!) yesterday. Loads of fun, chit-chat, laugh, gifts and of course lots of food. How can anyone possibly think a party without food. Everyone had made some really beautiful, and delicious food.



I had made my tried and tasted Beetroot-Chocolate Cake and Veg Frittatas. Recipe for the Frittatas is as follows:

4 Green Onions/ Spring Onions/ Shallots chopped
1 Medium Size Zucchini
1 Red Capsicum
1 Yellow Capsicum
4 Eggs
75 gm Grated Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese.
Salt and Pepper to taste and Cooking Oil Spray (I prefer Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Method:
1. Preheat oven at 180C. Grease muffin tin with cooking spray or line the bases with some baking paper.

2. Spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray and sauté shallots over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
3. Similarly sauté Zucchini and Capsicum until half-cooked.
4. Mix Eggs, Cheese, salt and pepper together and then stir in the onions and vegetables.
5. Spoon the mixture evenly in the muffin tray (With the given quantity 24 muffins could be made. So use two trays of just make a second batch) and bake for 30 minutes or until set and golden on top.
6. Stand in the tin for 5 min before serving.

And they turned out really perfect. Warm, Christmas Colours.
Enjoy!!!
