These Spinach Quiche Muffins are a healthy breakfast idea that can be customized with fillings of your choice like spinach, mushrooms, onions, cheese, red bell peppers. They are easy to make ahead and warm each morning.
One of my favorite breakfast choices is this egg white scramble. I decided instead of making it every single morning, I would save some time and turn them into these great little spinach quiche muffins that I can make on Sunday and have them prepped for several days. I can then just heat them up quickly each morning and have along with my oatmeal.
What’s great is that you can add whatever you’d like to your egg muffins. Each time you make them change the ingredients if you’d like. Try ground turkey sausage, bacon, ham, asparagus, broccoli, etc. It’s fun to be creative.
Spinach Quiche Muffin Ingredients
Fresh baby spinach (1 cup if you don’t prefer a lot of spinach)
7 eggs or 1 3/4 cup of egg whites or egg substitute. (I like to use more egg whites for a much healthier version of 1 3/4 cup of liquid egg white and 1-2 whole eggs)
Baby Bella or White mushrooms, sliced or diced small
Red bell pepper, optional
Diced Onion, optional
Shredded cheese of your choice, optional (I love a little feta)
Pepper to taste
How to Make These Egg Muffins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
Saute the mushrooms (and onions and peppers if using) for about 5-6 minutes
Then add the spinach and cook for about 4 more minutes or until tender.
Drain the excess liquid very well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Add the cooked mushrooms, spinach, onion, red pepper and cheeses (if using) and mix well.
Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin tin.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Store in the refrigerator or freeze. Just pop them in the microwave when you’re ready to eat them.
ENJOY!!

oooh yum! I’m thinking about making mini quiche for our family Christmas breakfast. Each year we get together to eat breakfast before opening presents with the family and it’s the same breakfast every year. I think it’s time to break tradition and try something new. Thanks for sharing and thanks for linking up for Scraptastic Saturdays. This post will be shared via FB/Twitter/Pinterest. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Sherri! I’m stopping over from Let’s Get Real today. I make something similar and they are always a bit hit. Easy to make and easy to grab and go. I call them my little protein bombs. They really get my started right and adding in vegetables gives so much nutrition in a nice convenient package.
