Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.75 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 cups spinach
- 0.5 cups red bell pepper
- 0.5 cups cooked bacon or sausage
- 0.25 cups green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Chop the spinach, bell pepper, and green onions into small pieces. If using bacon or sausage, ensure they are fully cooked and crumbled or diced.
Distribute the chopped spinach, bell pepper, cooked bacon or sausage, and green onions evenly into the greased muffin cups. Each cup should be about halfway full.
Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese to each cup on top of the vegetables and protein.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top but leaving a small gap to allow for expansion during baking.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed up and golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the quiches cool for 5 minutes. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges, then carefully lift them out of the tin.
Serve warm or let the quiches cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick on-the-go breakfast.
