Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 34 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 14 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 14 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 ounces baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped (approx. 1 c.)
  • 13 cup roasted red pepper, diced (or 1 finely chopped and seeded jalapeno)
  • 13 cup ham, finely diced (or cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon)
  • 14 cup green onion, sliced
  • 14 teaspoon salt
  • 18 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 4 ounces ham, deli ham, thinly sliced (approx. 8 slices)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients (except ham slices) and stir well.
  • Lightly grease or spray muffin tin (you will need 8 wells) You can use foil muffin liners, but be sure to spray them with non-stick spray before filling and to remove the liners from the quiche BEFORE reheating them in microwave).
  • Evenly divide the egg mixture between the 8 muffin wells (about 1/4 cup each), being careful to keep ingredients well dispersed and getting an equal amount of spinach in each well.
  • You want them to be filled right to the top.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • The tops should be puffed and just barely set on top.
  • Eggs will sink after cooling.
  • Store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze them (remember that when reheating in the microwave to make sure to take off the foil liners!
  • ).
