Cuisine: Low Carb
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your mini quiches will cook evenly and thoroughly.
- Gather all your ingredients: 6 eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup diced bell pepper, and salt and pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and add the 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Whisk them together until well combined and frothy.
- Add the chopped spinach, shredded cheese, and diced bell pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to taste the mixture to adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or butter to prevent the quiches from sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the quiches are set and lightly golden on top.
- Once cooked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the mini quiches to cool for a few minutes before removing them.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges of each quiche to help release them from the tin. Gently lift them out and place them on a serving platter.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious low carb mini quiches!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: If you're short on time, you can prepare the filling a day in advance. Just mix the eggs, cream, and veggies, and store it in the fridge until you're ready to bake.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your ingredients! Swap in your favorite veggies, like mushrooms or zucchini, or add some cooked bacon or sausage for extra flavor.
- Grease the Muffin Tin Well: To ensure your mini quiches come out easily, don’t skip greasing the muffin tin. A light coat of cooking spray or butter will do the trick.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your quiches as they bake. They’re done when they puff up and turn lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Serve with a Twist: For an extra touch, serve your mini quiches with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top. It adds a burst of flavor and makes them even more appealing!
