Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ cups water
• 2 egg whites
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 muffin cups.

Step 2

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Combine cooked quinoa, eggs, egg whites, zucchini, Swiss cheese, ham, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and white pepper in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture to the top of each prepared muffin cup.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until the edges of frittatas are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes in the pan before serving. Serve hot or cold.
