Mini Spinach Quiche
On the weekends we make something fresh and new breakfast. It is actually a brunch because we get up too late to be breakfast and too early for lunch. Today I was wondering what to make for brunch given it’s a lazy Sunday morning. I did not want to put lots of effort into this so then we came up with the idea to make mini quiches.
Originally I don’t even eat eggs. I don’t like the smell of eggs in my food. It’s one of the reasons that I like to make eggless cakes too. Anyway, quiches make out of lots of eggs and various kind of meat, here I have tried to use spinach, fewer eggs. It turned out very well, soft yet firm and no stinky egg smell. Here my step by step recipe for the quiche. You can adjust your measurements according to your quantity.
First, I was using fresh spinach so I cut it roughly and washed and put in cast iron skillet on high heat to burn off the water, this took for 4 to 5 minutes or until you see spinach is not watery. If you are using frozen spinach thaw, drain and use.
Then I have made few quiches with crust and rest of them without crust. You can use any bread to make crust (just make sure its soft), cut the round pieces of size of your muffin pan.
Ingredients:
1. 2 Bunches of spinach (you can use frozen spinach)
2. Shredded Cheddar cheese - approx. 1 cp.
3. 3 Eggs, beaten
4. 1 Medium size onion chopped
5. 1 green paper chopped
6. Cayenne pepper sauce as per your taste
7. Salt and paper as per your taste
8. Few breads round pieces for crust
Process:
1 Pre heat your oven to 350 degree F, and line a 12 cup muffin pan, grease with cooking spray or with little butter
2 In a mixing bowl take spinach, add shredded cheese, finely chopped onion, small chopped green peppers, chili sauce, salt and pepper, mix well.
3 In small bowl break 3 eggs and beat well and add to spinach mix. Mix well
4 Put round bread pieces in bottom of muffin pan, on top put spinach mix evenly in all cups with help of spoon.
5 Put muffin pan into preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or test your mini quiches with a knife and they will be done when your knife comes out clean.
6 All done! Now you can enjoy with your tea or coffee.
