Healthy bite size snack!
I love making Mini Crustless Quiches, they are a great snack when I am focusing on my eating plan. They help when I get a craving to snack mid-afternoon or watching a late night movie. Each one packs a great protein punch, low fat and very few calories (depending on your filling)
Making them for a fun family night...have each family member pick a row to add their own filling and bake everyones together!
Spray mini muffin pans with cooking spray.
(if you use paper muffin liners, go for the thicker ones - be sure to spray them as well)
A friend suggested using a silicone one -- I think this will be my next purchase!
Fill 1/2-2/3 with favorite veggies
I like variety - so I fill each row with different mixtures
I used:
Spinach
Zuccini
Red Onion
Orange Pepper
Sweet Potato (pre cooked)
Beat 4-6 eggs season with salt pepper and dill
(add shredded cheese if desired)
Fill filled muffin cups to the rim
Carefull place in a 350 over
Cook 20-25 minutes until set
Great warm or chilled!
I flash freeze them as well (place individually on cookie sheet until frozen solid, then place in covered container or ziplock bag. When you need a quick snack - microwave for 10-20 seconds. YUMM!
Alternatives
I have used salsa, mustard, bacon as well as adding cream to the egg mixture and cheese too. Its all up to what you love!
Let me know what your favorites are!
