South Beach Veggie Mini Quiches Recipe


Submitted by christinetucker

Makes 12 servings


(egg-substitute version)

Ingredients
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
1 package frozen chopped spinach (10 oz.)
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
1/4 cup diced red or green peppers or mixture of both
1/4 cup diced onions
Directions
  1. Heat oven to 350F

  2. Line 12 cup muffin pan with foil baking cups, spray the cups with the cooking spray.

  3. Be sure not to omit this step, or the quiches will stick badly to the baking cups.

  4. Thaw and drain spinach - I wring it out well in my hand, which eliminates a lot of the "spinachy" taste for those who hate boiled spinach.

  5. Mix the spinach, eggs or egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, hot pepper sauce, salt in a bowl.

  6. Fill the foil cups with the mixture.

  7. Bake at 350F or 20 minutes. You will know they are done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

  8. Remove from cups to serve.

  9. Fajita spice variation: Add fajita spice to taste at step 4 (a dash to 1/8 teaspoon). If you like it spicy, you may even want to add a bit of chopped jalapeno.

  10. Indian variation: Add garam masala to taste at step 4 (a dash to 1/8 teaspoon).
