MUFFIN SIZED BREAKFAST QUICHE



Muffin Sized Breakfast Quiche image

From the kitchen of Leanne Ely author of "Saving Dinner." Measurements are approximate and cooking time and servings depends on the size of your muffin tin cups and of course the size and appetite of who you are serving. This is a great and easy idea and I'm sure there could be many variations; different types of cheese, a little garlic, maybe some crumbled bacon, etc.

Time 35m

Yield 8-12 quiche-muffins, 5-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 eggs
1 (10 ounce) bag Baby Spinach
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup cheddar cheese
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Lightly grease your muffin pan with spray or oil on a paper towel, set aside.
  • Saute the Chopped Onions in a pan with the tablespoon of oil, until translucent.
  • Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat as if making scrambled eggs. Salt and Pepper eggs to taste.
  • Into the greased muffin cups add about 3 or 4 leaves of Spinach. (You probably won't use the whole bag.).
  • Top the Spinach with about a teaspoon each of the sauted Onions.
  • Top the onions with about 1 Tablespoon each of the Cheddar Cheese.
  • Then ladle enough egg mixture into each muffin cup to fill the tin about 2/3 full.
  • Bake your little quiches for 10-20 minutes, (depending on the size of your muffin tin cups.) They should be nicely browned on top, but do not overcook. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Let your quiche-muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then using a dinner knife, gently run the blade around the perimeter of each muffin to loosen. Then plop them carefully on a plate to finish cooling and serve.

VEGAN BREAKFAST QUICHE WITH SIMPLY POTATOES HASH BROWN CRUST



Vegan Breakfast Quiche With Simply Potatoes Hash Brown Crust image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This is a recipe I created. It is a vegetarian style quiche made with tofu and nutritional yeast flakes, onion, garlic, spinach, and a few spices. I also used a bit of coconut milk which, when cutting out cheese in a recipe, adds a bit of creaminess. Although coconut milk is high in saturated fat, it is also full of fiber and has been found to be very healthy. I also used Simply Potatoes hash browns for crust. It is really healthy without the eggs and cholesterol.

Tips for Making the Perfect Breakfast Quiche

  • Use a good quality pie crust. You can make your own or use a store-bought crust. If you're using a store-bought crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • Don't overfill the quiche. A quiche that is too full will not cook evenly and may be soggy in the center.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the quiche will taste.
  • Season the quiche well. Don't be afraid to use salt, pepper, and other spices to flavor the quiche.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set. A quiche is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion

Breakfast quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for a busy weeknight meal or a special occasion brunch. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a breakfast quiche recipe that everyone will love.
