Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
With a non-stick spray, grease the muffin tin.

While you're waiting, you could paint some Easter Eggs, make some Easter cards or make your own Easter Bunny mask with construction paper and a paper plate!
**Grown-up** Take out and let cool.
**Grown-up** Chop the green onion into thin slices. These will the rabbits' eyes!
Pluck off the leaves off of a thyme sprig for the rabbit whiskers!
**Grown-up** Cut a carrot into triangles. These will be the rabbits' nose!
Decorate the frittata with spinach leaves for rabbit ears, the green onion for eyes and the carrot for the nose.
Poke the thyme sprigs in the sides of the frittata for the whiskers.
Nom!
**Grown-up Tips**
Fill the muffin tin halfway as the frittatas tend to pop out.
Keep a close eye on your garlic! They burn easily.
Help your little chef with the eggs at first but move onto the next steps while they're working.
