Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP coconut oil
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach (or 1 cup if you prefer less spinach)
  • 7 eggs or 1 3/4 cup egg whites or egg substitute
  • 8 oz package baby bella or white mushrooms, sliced or diced small
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese of your choice (optional, feta recommended)
  • Pepper to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • Ground turkey sausage
  • Bacon
  • Asparagus
  • Broccoli
  • Other creative vegetables or meats as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the muffins.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Vegetables: Add the sliced or diced mushrooms, along with onions and red bell pepper if using, sauté for about 5-6 minutes until softened.
  4. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook for approximately 4 minutes until tender and wilted.
  5. Drain Excess Liquid: Remove the cooked vegetables from the heat and drain any excess liquid thoroughly to prevent sogginess in your muffins.
  6. Combine Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs or egg substitute until smooth. Add the cooked vegetables, optional cheese, and pepper, mixing until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
  7. Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly divide the mixture among the cups of a muffin tin, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche muffins are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Store and Serve: Once cooled, refrigerate or freeze the muffins. Reheat them in the microwave when ready to enjoy for a quick and wholesome meal.
