Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    These were very good, but the cleanup was very difficult. I would make it in a single pie pan next time.

    I see that I'm in the minority, but I was underwhelmed by these (so rare for one of Ina's recipes!) I followed the recipe as written, except I used silicone muffin cups in my metal muffin tin and was therefore unable to fit all of the egg mixture. I found the frittatas too salty and otherwise lacking flavor. They did, however, come out of the greased silicone muffin cups nicely, and this made clean-up a little easier.

    Made these for an Easter Brunch option, they were super delicious. I would have liked them smaller, I might see if they work in a mini muffin tin. So flavorful.

    I second Kjohns101. The recipe was delicious but it ruined my muffin tin and I greased it thoroughly! I guess I'll try silicone next time? Heads up!

    These are tasty and rich. I greased the muffin tins carefully but they still stuck and it took a lot of scrubbing to clean the pan. Although I thought I’d make them again, the sticking issue deters me.

    I made a 1/2 recipe of these yesterday to reheat for our breakfast today. I had to sub a mix of provolone & gruyere for the fontina and use a mix of fresh & frozen spinach (timing their additions appropriately). I followed the quantities given but while assembling, I gambled on filling 7 (rather than 6) muffin cups. Each frittata is loaded with filling/cheese and the egg mixture went right to the brim of each cup (ie it would have been too much for 6). Verdict?? These are delicious!

    These are amazingly delicious! I agree with anya_sf that it’s important to grease the entire muffin pan including the top. I forgot to add the basil and ended up sticking some in each muffin with a fork mid bake. I made these one day ahead, cooled and refrigerated right in the pan, and reheated for 10 minutes the next day before a brunch party. They were all eaten up. Sooo good.

    I sauteed the vegetables and grated the cheese the night before, then assembled the frittatas and added the egg mixture the next morning before baking. That worked well. The muffin cups get filled to the absolute brim, so it's important to grease the entire pan (I used cooking spray). I forgot the Parmesan on top, but they were plenty cheesy. They were super good. My son ate 3!
