individual spinach quiche cups


My rosary mom's group came over a couple weeks ago.  I wanted to make something that was yummy and healthy.  Found this recipe, make a few tweaks, and here it is!

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 - 10 ounce packages frozen spinach, thawed
3/4 cup egg substitute (or 4 additional eggs)
4 eggs
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
salt and pepper
dash nutmeg
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Heat oil in pan over medium.  
  3. Add onions and cook until clear.
  4. While onions are cooking, wring out moisture from spinach.
  5. Add spinach and cook a couple of minutes, until heated through.  Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  6. Line muffin tray with baking cups.  Spray cups with cooking spray.
  7. Allow spinach mixture to cool a bit, and wring out again (you don't want soggy quiche).
  8. Combine egg substitute, egg, peppers, spinach and onions in bowl.
  9. Divide evenly in baking cups.  Should make 12 quiches.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.
  11. Serve warm or cool, or freeze for later use.
