- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- 1/4 cup milk (60 milliliters)
Vegetables:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking surface by greasing a muffin tin or lining with paper cups, then heat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Gently incorporate chopped spinach, cheese, bell peppers, and onions into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Carefully transfer the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each compartment approximately three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the quiche muffins rest for 3-4 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Delicately extract muffins from the tin and arrange on a serving plate, ready to be enjoyed warm or at ambient temperature.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by sautéing spinach and onions before adding to the mixture for a deeper, more caramelized taste profile.
- Swap whole milk for lighter options like almond or skim milk to reduce calories and create a more diet-friendly version.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like feta, goat cheese, or sharp cheddar to customize the flavor and texture of the muffins.
- Prep these muffins ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for quick breakfasts or grab-and-go snacks.
