Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  3. Add olive oil and a generous amount of cooking spray to a medium sauté pan. Sauté asparagus, onion and bell pepper for 7-9 minutes or until cooked through. Season with salt (optional) and pepper and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites and milk.
  5. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables among the 12 muffin cups. Cups should be 1/2 to 3/4 full. Gently pour egg mixture over the vegetables in each muffin cup, distributing evenly. Cups should full but not overflowing.
  6. Take one half of a Lite Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and gently press it down in the middle of each quiche. Repeat for remaining 11 quiches.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

For this recipe I used frozen pepper and onion mix and frozen asparagus pieces popped them in the fridge to thaw the night before and gave them a quick chop run through my mini food processor, it really cut down on time!

Not recommended

These were ok. I had to doubke the liquid To fill my muffin tins. They might have been a bit larger than contemplated by recipe. I also had to cook them longer. The chopping of the veggies took time. I added garlic and some herbs to the veggies. I thought it was too much work. I would just as soon have scrambled eggs with some veggies.
No, I don’t recommend
