Mini Breakfast Quiches: Quick, easy and delicious!

I love eggs. From head down to my legs. It's true. I could eat eggs every single morning for the rest of my life and I don't think I would ever get tired of them. I used to eat plan old egg and cheese omelets as a kid. When I got to William and Mary, Phyllis made the best omelets in the UC every weekday morning--I was a regular. When I went to work after graduating I tried so hard to make an omelet each day, but you know that 5:00am comes early most days and sometimes there just isn't time for a red pepper/green pepper/onion/bacon/cheese omelet. This summer I had so much free time I came up with this brilliant idea to make mini breakfast quiches that I could freeze and throw in the microwave each morning for less than 2 mins. I tested this theory last week with spinach, mushroom, tomato and onion quiches. This Sunday I worked hard to cook up a batch of turkey bacon, red pepper, green pepper, and onion quiches AND OMG THEY ARE SO GOOOOOOD!

Okay so here is all you need:

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 green pepper, chopped

1/2 yellow or sweet onion, chopped

8 slices of turkey bacon, cooked, patted with a paper-towel and crumbled into 1/4 inch chunks

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

4 eggs and 5 egg whites, beaten into submission with a whisk

1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk will do)

I didn't even add salt and pepper and they were perfect

Okay and all you have to do is:

preheat oven to 350F

In a medium mixing bowl:

combine green and red peppers, onion, turkey bacon crumbles, and cheese

In another medium mixing bowl:

whisk the eggs, egg whites and milk

In a greased (with olive oil spray) muffin pan:

Add the pepper, onion, bacon and cheese mixture to the muffin cups

Using a small ladle pour in the egg mixture so that it fills up about 3/4 of the muffin cup

Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the egg is cooked all the way and they quiches are golden on top

Let them cool and remove from the muffin pan

When they are room temp, put two mini quiches into a plastic bag and label them with the date and throw them in the freezer. Basically when you are ready for breakfast, heat them in microwave for about 1min 45secs and enjoy.

It just can't get any easier than that.

And...may I also add that just in the last 2 weeks since eating these for breakfast and eating the snacks and lunch from my last post...I have lost 3 pounds.

Let me know if you try this recipe and how it turns out for you!
