Last night, after a longer than normal flight down to Atlanta, Meg delighted my taste buds with an easy warm up dinner. Since it was already 9pm I knew I didn’t want anything too heavy but was in need of protein and something substantial. After brainstorming for a few minutes Meg pulled out a Tupperware filled with adorable muffins. My first reaction was that cupcakes would not be the perfect dinner. But, I quickly realized that these little yellow cupcakes were in fact a mini, healthy quiche!
Meg has been building some South Beach into her life in the months leading up to her May wedding. This recipe is based on the recipe in her Supercharged Eating on the South Beach Diet cookbook. She uses her regular 12 muffin pan to make these on Sunday nights. After they cook she stores them in the fridge or freezer. Combined with a piece of Rudi’s toast and warm cup of tea two to three of these make the perfect breakfast treat at home or at the office. Enjoy!Meg’s Easy Vegetable Quiche Cups to Go
1 package frozen chopped spinach
3/4 c shreded reduced fat cheedar or pepper jack cheese
3/4 c egg subsitute or egg whites
1/2 medium onion finely diced
1/2 package pre sliced Baby bella mushrooms
6-8 drops Tabasco or to taste
4 Tbsp Benefiber non thickening powder
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
Place spinach in a microwaveable container and cook in the microwave on high power for 2 1/2 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, cheese, egg substitute, onions, Benefiber, mushrooms, and Tabasco. Mix well. Divide mixture evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until a tester insterted in the center comes out clean. Cook in pan for 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula or knife to loosen the edges before flipping upside down on a cooling rack. After fifteen minutes freeze individually or pop in the fridge. Enjoy!
