Quiche Cups to Go (South Beach Diet)

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach

3/4 cup liquid egg substitute

3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese

1/4 cup diced green bell peppers

1/4 cup diced onions

3 drops hot sauce

microwave spinach for 2 1/2 minutes on high. Drain the excess liquid.

Line a 12 cup muffin pan with foil baking cups. Spray the cups with cooking spray.

Combine the egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, and spinach in a bowl. Mix well. Divide evenly among the muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Quiche cups can be frozen and reheated in the microwave. Any combination of vegetables and reduced-fat cheeses may be used.

6 servings (two muffins a serving)

That is from the South beach Diet.

I found that it made a very scant 12 little quiches, so I made a second batch and filled the cups up more. That still doesn't make it too many calories or protein per muffin.

I also made some with southwestern style egg beaters - that was tasty. And a batch made with frozen broccoli instead of spinach was good also.

My husband liked these too, they were easy to eat while driving.
