  2. This looks so good! Even with egg prices being up, it would still be reasonable in cost.

  7. Yum. A bit like the low-carb Pizza muffins. Which, maybe you can explain... are great fresh or from the fridge, but once frozen... they lose a lot of flavor and smell kinda funny- because of the egg-base?

  8. do you know how long this would keep for in the fridge? as with so many recipes the number of servings is too high for one, and you scale down it's just an omelette. Debbie

    Hello Iris
    Frittata or muffins can be frozen, I find it best to slice the frittata and wrap individually in foil, which of course you can do with the muffins quite easily, then place them in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or oven.
    It is quite possible that freezing them will slightly alter the taste/texture but not overly so ... hope this helps.

    Do please also read the link I gave to Debbie/Rustic Pumpkin above, as many of the points you raised are answered in the link.

    For other readers I think the muffin recipe Iris refers to is this one here

  25. Jan, a great idea is to replace the carbohydrates of the dough with eggs (similar to an frittata)

  26. Thank you for this recipe, Jan. Apart from the olives I could easily eat this at any time of the day.
