This morning I made a few mini quiches. Perfect for an easy breakfast
or a quick snack.
I used spinach, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and of course some eggs.
After I filled the cupcake cups, I sprinkled some grated Parmesan
Cheese over the top of them.
Pretty darned tasty and easy.

My breakfast in the morning is always and only one cup of coffee.
Breakfast food occasionally, I'll have for dinner.

Oooh, those look good! More like muffins than mini-quiches, but who
cares?

I'd make them ahead and just nuke one for breakfast. I do that now with
some thing.

Those look great, although I admit they look like muffins. Do you have
a recipe to share? And do these freeze well (and then warm up in the
microwave)?

You don't have to make them every morning. The batter I made filled 9
of the cupcake cups. I ate two and refigerated the rest to re-heat for
snacks or breakfast

Thanks Jill, Yeah, they do look like muffins don't they, don't know
why they puffed up so. My next batch will probably be as flat as
pancakes. LOL

I'm sure they'd freeze well.
I basically made a frittata batter but baked it in the cupcake pan
instead of a skillet.
This could be made in a skillet too and just cut into slices.

I used 5 large eggs
salt and pepper to taste
3 ounces cremini mushrooms finely chopped
5 ounces fresh spinach (LARGE handful) roughly chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper finely chopped
2 spring onions chopped with some of the green stem
big pinch of oregano or to taste

In a medium bowl, whip the eggs with some salt and pepper and oregano
In a large skillet over medium-high heat saute the onion and bell
pepper. Once the peppers start to soften, add the mushrooms and
cook for a few minutes more. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.

In a well greased cupcake pan, divide the vegetables evenly among the
cups. I filled the cups almost half way full of the vegetables and
used 9 of the 12 cups on the pan.
Using a tablespoon, measure 2 tablespoons of egg mixture per cup. I
have very little leftover so that I added to the cups that looked a
little lacking in mixture.

Hope this is clear. Now you know why I'm not a recipe writer. ;-)

Here's the frittata recipe I loosely my concoction on.

9 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon finely ground sea salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or ghee
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 bunch spinach (about 10 ounces), stemmed and roughly chopped
1 bunch scallions sliced

Preheat the oven to 300°F.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with ½ teaspoon of the salt and the
pepper.
Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and melt the
butter. Saute the mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes,
until golden brown and soft.
Add the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt,
the spinach, and the scallions.
Stir until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the eggs,
and allow to cook on the stove for 1 minute.
Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes,
or until the eggs are set.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

Thanks very much (and you did fine writing this recipe). This sounds
fine, and I'm going to try it. I have diabetes, so I am always looking
for recipes without flour. I love quiche, so this should be a great
addition to my recipe file. Again, thanks!!
