Swiss Chard and Chanterelle Mushroom Frittata Cups

chantrells2 As our farm season winds down I find myself craving comforting foods that still highlight some of the seasons best produce. We still have an abundance of swiss chard at the farm and with our local hookup with chanterelle mushrooms I knew I needed to make a dish that highlighted both of these treasures. mechardtoday Beautiful chard. chantrells Locally harvested chanterelles. frittata2 I don't know about you all but having a quick and easy snack that is full of protein and good for you ingredients is critical in our household. We are often in a rush during the day between farm chores and veggie drop-offs so snacks like these frittata cups are really nice to have on hand. These puppies are a cinch to whip up and taste amazing. They are dairy free to boot! I am already planning on having some girlfriends over for brunch in a few weeks so we have an excuse to drink mimosas and eat these lovely frittata cups! If you are a cheese lover I think these would taste awesome with a little gruyere. However, we loved them as is. Either way pour some coffee (or a mimosa) and dig in! frittata3
