Vegetable Quiche Cups To Go |
These vegetable quiche cups are one of my favorite recipes! I'm constantly recommending them because they can be made in bulk and frozen.
If you're in a pinch for a quick meal, all you have to do is take one or two out of the freezer and reheat in the microwave. Voila! A quick, filling, high protein meal or snack!
Ingredients:
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
- 3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
- 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
- 1/4 cup diced green peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 3 drops hot-pepper sauce (optional)
Instructions:
- Microwave the spinach for 2 1/2 minutes on high. Drain the excess liquid.
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking cups. Spray the cups with cooking spray.
- Combine the egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, and spinach in a bowl. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Any combinations of appropriate vegetables and reduced-fat cheeses may be used. You can even keep it as simple as combining egg substitute and salsa if you don't want to mess with chopping vegetables!
