It took a few attempts before George was accepting of eggs.  Although, there was no hesitation with these mini zucchini, leek and ricotta frittatas.  These eggy morcels are perfect for little fingers and another healthy addition to the tasting plate.
They’re great for the freezer too.

Tip:  Grease your mini muffin tray and paper cases well to ensure the frittatas don’t stick.
