Recipe: Crustless Mini Quiches - repost with a calorie saving change!

I have posted this before but I used an egg substitute today and it turned out just as good and saved 300 cals overall for the entire recipe. Ingredients: 1 small carton of egg beaters 1 cup low fat monteray jack cheese 4 oz of ham diced 2 oz onion chopped 2 oz green pepper chopped 1 cup broccoli tops chopped salt and pepper, garlic powder to taste Mix all together and pour into a muffin pan that has been sprayed with pam. Bake for 30 mins. They can be frozen and nice for "protein meals on the go". Calories 72, protein 9, carbs 2, fats 3 per muffin. Sometimes I eat one with some fruit other times I just have 2 and fills me perfectly. Hope you love them like I do. You can switch it up and put whatever u want in them.

I am so glad you posted this. I bought all the stuff including egg beaters to make this but hadn't had the time to sit down and get the numbers and now you just saved me some time. Whoo Hoo!!

Hey Amy, they are just so good. Nuke your veggies after you chop them up for a couple mins in the microwave with a bit of water to steam them.. drain the water and then add it to your egg substitute. It starts the cooking process so they aren't so crunchy. Enjoy!

Did it make 12 muffins? Sounds YUMMY. Thanks Diana

yep it does make 12, bake at 350

Mmm, thank you for posting this with the changes Melissa! Just a few days ago I threw away the remainders of my other recipe of mini-mini quiches because they'd just been in the freezer way too long. Can't wait to switch to your recipe and the larger size. Yahoo! Molly

I made it with the Southwestern style Egg Beaters last night and they taste great!!

Mmmm yum! Will have to try that Amy. Terri R on the RNY board makes them with precooked southwest style chicken meat, onion and then dips them in salsa.. haha.. so versatile you an do anything with them!

have you ever thought of publishing a cook book?

Hey Dawn, Actually I have but when I went to Barnes and Noble I realized there isn't many "WLS cookbooks" on the shelves but there are quite a few if you search on Amazon.com. It's basically a southbeach style of eating.. low carb, low fat or good fats (like EVOO) and high protein, whole grains.. so I donno if its worth my while but I do a lot of cooking now and love the foods I eat, my best joy is sharing them with people I love and care about here on OH. ;o) They make my life so much more fulfilled eating wise and easier with RNY. Thanks for the suggestion, it is still something in the back of my mind. I have all my recipes saved to a word document if anyone is interested in them. I just need an email address outside of OH, let me know
