Ingredients
  

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into small cubes

4 oz chorizo, casing removed and crumbled

6 large eggs

¼ cup milk

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Cook the Sweet Potato and Chorizo: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften. Add the crumbled chorizo to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the chorizo is browned and the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

        Add the Greens and Cheese: Incorporate the chopped spinach into the egg mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.

          Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked sweet potato and chorizo mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring that everything is well coated.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the frittata mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about ⅔ full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and lightly golden on top.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Use a butter knife to gently loosen the edges, then pop the frittatas out of the tin. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. These mini frittata cups can be enjoyed as a perfect breakfast, a tasty snack, or a delightful appetizer!
