Baby Quiche

This isn't even a recipe specifically for WLS people but looking at the ingredients it seems a perfect fit. I'm such a newbie though I don't know how to convert it so that I'd know the protein grams or calories. Maybe someone more advanced than I could do it. Each cupcake looks to be about the equiv of one egg, so that's 7gr protein with just that.

Just sausage or bacon, spinach, and egg, add cheese as an option. They keep about 5 days in the fridge, and are great reheated and topped with salsa. Obviously, peel away the metal cupcake cup before microwaving.

 

What are the ingredients (measurements too)?  How long do you bake them and at what temperature?  Thank you.

Since this isn't my recipe I had to get addl info from my friend. This is what she said:

"it kind of depends on what you're putting in the muffins. With just sausage and spinach, I use 9-10 eggs, a couple tablespoons of olive oil and a couple tablespoons of water when I beat the eggs. If you use broccoli/onions/etc, you'll possibly use less. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes -- until the eggs are set."

I gather by her response that it's just sort of free form. You can add sausage, or bacon, plus any other ingredients you like. I think some cheese would be great too....but you could add some pico de gallo for a spicier version if you can tolerate it. I think the options are pretty endless, depending on your own likes and dislikes.  Hope the addl info is helpful.

Check out www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and look up her recipe for "bites". She has several varieties, great instructions and they are WLS friendly. No oil used

thanks for the "bites link" I think I will try this tomorrow.
