CLAUDIA'S LOW FAT SPINACH & BACON QUICHE MUFFINS
I've been perfecting this recipe since having something similar at Panera Bread. The garlic in it is not to be overwhelming - just a kiss of garlic. Garlic lovers, please resist the temptation to double the garlic. This recipe will knock your socks off, as is! So delicious! Great for freezing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Saute onions & garlic in olive oil, 1 minute.
- Add turkey bacon, cook until bacon is browned, but not crisp, approximately 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain. (I like to blot with a paper towel to get out all the excess grease.).
- Combine cream cheese, Eggbeaters and milk; smashing cream cheese with back of the spoon until it is broken up.
- Add salt & pepper to taste to egg mixture.
- Add bacon mixture, green onions, cheese and spinach to egg mixture.
- Unroll crescent rolls.
- Working with ¼ of the crescent rolls at a time (2 triangles), pinch seams together and roll with rolling pin out on floured board to an 8x8 square. Cut into fourths.
- Place ¼ into each muffin cavity to form 1 muffin. Press up in muffin tin to fully line the muffin cavity.
- Repeat with remaining crescent rolls.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes @ 375 degrees or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
- When slightly cooled, run knife around muffin to release. Serve or store for later use.
- Cool completely before storing in Ziplock bag.
- When ready to serve, place muffin on plate and reheat in microwave.
- Yield: 16 muffins.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, bacon, and eggs will give your muffins the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help the muffins hold their shape.
