Recipe - Breakfast Quiche
Ingredients
Spinach - 2 cups
Red Pepper - 1/4 cup
Onion - 1/4 cup
Egg whites - 1 cup
Whole omega-3 eggs - 2
Low fat swiss cheese - 1/4 cup
Low fat turkey deli meat - 5 oz
Garlice - 3 cloves
Cinnamon - 1/4 tsp
Olive oil cooking spray
Salsa - 1/2 cup
Instructions
Preheat the over to 400ºF. Add all ingredients to a blender except the salsa. Blend well on low. Lightly coat a non-stick muffin tray with spray. Evenly distribute mixture into each muffin cup, filling each half way. This will allow room for the mixture to rise when baking. Avoid using the foam and try to distribute the liquid, cheese, meat and vegetables (approximately 20 minutes). Remove from oven and cool. They will shrink, but don't be alarmed. To remove quiches from muffin cups, slide spoon along entire circular muffin cup edge and then lift. Serve with salsa and enjoy.
