Servings 6 Egg Cups
Calories 112 kcal
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 stalks green onion chopped
- 8 mushrooms sliced
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 8 egg whites
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated or shredded (Optional, but used in nutrition analysis)
- 6 cherry tomatoes sliced in quarters
In a pan, add olive oil and sauté green onions and mushrooms on medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes. Add Italian Seasoning and mix into sautéed mushrooms and onions. Then add spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes on low-heat. Place sautéed vegetable aside.
Separate eggs using only the egg whites. In a bowl, whip egg whites with a fork until there are foamy bubbles.
Place parchment paper muffin cups into muffin baking pan. Pour about 1/4 cup egg white into muffin pan, about halfway full. Scoop one spoonful of sautéed veggies into each cup (use a teaspoon). Optional: sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of each mini quiche followed by a couple of tomato slices.
Bake at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes. Quiche tops should become golden brown. Remove from oven. Let cool 5 minutes and remove parchment paper. Place on serving dish and serve!
