Receta Mini Sausage Frittatas {made with a Whoopie Pie Pan}

Have you heard about Whoopie Pie Pans? I wasn't exactly sold on them to begin with, but now that I have one - I am in love! Within a day of receiving my Sweet Creations {from Good Cook} Nonstick Whoopie Pie Pan I whipped up these Mini Sausage Frittatas and some Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches. The Whoopie Pie pan made both of these dishes a breeze, and I am all about an easy dish!
This recipe was inpsired by my husband, the meat lover. I grabbed a pound of sausage {a new find, Jimmy Dean Country Mild!} with my trusty new Whoopie Pan and got to work.
I did my best to divide the sausage over the 12 Whoopie Pie cavities and then popped them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
While the sausage patties were baking I mixed together eggs, green bell peppers, onions, cheese, salt and pepper. After taking the sausage patties out of the oven, I poured {easily by using a measuring cup with spout} the egg mixture evenly over the top of them. Then back in the oven for about another 6 minutes. {halfway through I added additional shredded cheese to the tops of 6}
Not only did they turn out beautiful, they easily popped out of the pan without any non-stick spray.
The possibilities are endless on ingredient combinations, I can't wait to play around with this basic recipe.

I served the Mini Sausage Frittatas with Thomas Mini Bagels and they were a hit with adults and kiddos alike. The frittatas are good enough on their own and I love how personal-sized they are, especially for the kiddos.
