This recipe comes from the October 2013 issue of Family Circle magazine. The photo make the little quiches look too yummy not to try. The only thing I did different was substitute regular bacon for turkey bacon. I know. Turkey bacon is healthier but I just don't like the taste.
Mini Bacon-Broccoli Quiches
3 cups broccoli florets
4 oz. (6 strips) bacon
9 eggs
3 egg whites
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cheddar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli. Cook 3 minutes; drain. Roughly chop and cool slightly. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until slightly crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Dice and set aside to cool.
Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper, broccoli and bacon.
Coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle mixture among cups. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through.
Cool slightly. Remove quiches with a small offset spatula. Cool completely and refrigerate.
To serve: Wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, until warm.
Makes 12 quiches.
