Mini-Potato & Cheese Frittata

Image
These Mini ones are virtually identical to my other  Potato & Cheese Frittata with one or two exceptions.   In this version, I used mini-spring-form pans that measured 4.5 " x 2".

Breakfast is everything to me. It's how we start our days.  It's the mouthful that speaks to me, "How you doin." Sufficed it to say Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.  I am not sure you will find anything like this recipe in books or even on the web. Like you, I have watched many cooking shows and have read up on breakfast Potato dishes for years, and I at least for me I've never had that ahhh moment where I say this is the one.

I made two other ones using 100-proof Vodka, but I wanted to try EverClear. I am so glad I decided to use the High Octane EverClear with an ABV of 95% and a whopping 190 proof. Before I continue, let me give you some of the reasons why I wanted to use Everclear. For one thing, it's neutral-tasting alcohol, so the Lemon comes through.  I think you get more bang for your buck too. Because the ABV is so high, it takes more distilled water to dilute, which raises the yield.  I will provide you calculations at the bottom to determine ABV.  For this batch, I used 3-bottles of EverClear, which equates to  2250 Ml or 2.25 L. I used the juice and zest from 24- Lemons. I a lso used Distilled Water to dilute the ABV.  Based on previous  experience, I knew  I needed 24-Lemons. BTW- the Lemons I purchased were from Costco.
