Mini Bacon and Spinach Quiches
Yields 6 quiches
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: About 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 pieces of whole wheat bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of light cream
- 1 cup of frozen chopped spinach
- 4 pieces of turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated fresh mozzarella
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray.
- Using a round cookie cutter that equals the size of the bottom of the muffin tin, cut out a hole in the middle of the bread. Place the circle bread on the bottom of 6 muffin cavities.
- Place spinach in a microwave safe dish and cook on high for 3 minutes, or until defrosted. Let cool for 5 minutes. Evenly distribute spinach, chopped onions, garlic and cheese among the 6 pieces of bread.
- Mix eggs, cream, salt, pepper and parsley in a medium bowl. Using a scoop, pour egg mixture evenly over the spinach cups, careful not to overflow. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and bake for at least 20 minutes.
- Let quiches cool (they will sink in a bit) and enjoy!
