Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
- 0.5 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 0.25 cup diced onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and diced onion until evenly distributed.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the quiche cups are set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the quiche cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin using a knife or small spatula.
Serve warm, or allow the quiche cups to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Enjoy as a quick snack, pair with a side salad for a complete meal, or pack them for a convenient on-the-go breakfast or lunch!
