Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Zucchini, diced
- 1 cup Baby spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the vegetables to cool slightly.
Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables into the prepared muffin cups.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables in each cup.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the quiche cups are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the quiche cups to cool for 5 minutes before using a knife to loosen and remove them from the tin.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
