Whether served warm or at room temperature, these savory muffins are a heart-healthy, low-sodium option that doesn't compromise on flavor or nutrition.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add the chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, green onions, shredded Cheddar cheese, and chopped parsley to the egg mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Evenly distribute the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the mini quiches from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the mini quiches from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving platter or plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
