Recipe: Healthy Mini Quiches!


I absolutely love quiche however the traditional recipe with the pastry base can really eat into your daily calorie count! 

Here is a recipe for a healthy version that you can make in a muffin tray in the oven. You can add pretty much any ingredients that you like to these! They work well to bring into work the next day to have cold or can be reheated!





Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of skimmed milk
  • brocolli cut up into small florets and steam for 
  • shredded ham or  cooked torn chicken
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup of mature cheddar cheese 


Method:

  • Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (275 degrees Fahrenheit) 
  • Grease your muffin pan with some coconut oil (or which ever oil or butter you prefer)
  • Chop your broccoli into small florets and steam for 3 minutes (i do this in a microwave container with a bit of water in the bottom and the lid part over it)
  • Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl, add half the cheese and season with salt and pepper (i like to use cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick)
  • Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tray until it is half full - add a teaspoon of the additional ingredients (e.g. brocolli, ham, chicken or any other veggies)
  • Sprikle the remaining cheese on top
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to brown


Enjoy!!
