Quiche Cupcakes and Quiche Cupcake minis



SO I have 2 really yummy recipes the first is my favorite but the second is good too.

Recipe 1 Quiche Mini's

4eggs
1 c almond milk, regular is fine
1/2 c fat free half and half
4 T butter melted
1/2- 2/3 t salt or to taste
dash of pepper
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese divided
1/2 c of "Bisquik" mixture (see below)
4 T diced Green Onions
1-2 handfuls of Spinach diced
4 T diced Mushrooms

Combine in bowl first 6 ingredients.  Beat well.  Add 1/4 cup of cheese to mixture.  Add Bisquik and stir well enough to get all lumps out, a whisk works well.  Then add all the diced veggies.  YUM!!  Spray the muffin tin thoroughly with Pam spray.  Pour egg mixture into the mini cupcake tin.  Sprinkle remainder 1/4 c of cheese on top of each hole.  Bake at 350 for 20-22 minutes or till done.  ENJOY!!

"Bisquik" Mix Recipe

2/3 cup 100% whole wheat flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/3 tsp salt

Combine and mix well.  (note:  this isnt exactly like Bisquik its basically just the dry ingredients of a biscuit recipe)

RECIPE 2:  Greek Quiche Cupcakes

6 eggs
6 egg whites
3 cups diced spinach
1/2 c green onion
1/2 cup mushrooms
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt 0% fat (I used Fage)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar
1/2 cup Feta with tomato and basil seasonings
1/8 tsp. of salt
dash pepper
1/2 cup of "bisquik" mix (see recipe above) (optional)

Bake at 375 for 25-30 min.  I used full sized muffin tins, can use minis or other oven safe dish. Spray with Pam.  Pour into tin or dish.

(NOTE:  this recipe has great potential I added too much salt (1 tsp.) forgetting that the feta is quite salty.  I also didnt cut my spinach up small enough and the spinach held all the yummy stuff at the top so it was egg bottom half and everything else top half.   I think if you pureed the spinach or something it would help.  Any suggestions?  Let me know.  It really is a yummy recipe when you get it right ;) )
