Calories: 770

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup multigrain cracker crumbs–about 4 Multigrain Flatbread Crackers
  • Cooking Spray
  • ½ cup frozen spinach thawed and squeezed of excess water, packed
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • ¾ cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions white and part of green
  • Ground nutmeg as desired
  • Freshly ground pepper as desired
  • ½ cup whole milk or low fat milk
  • 2 Large Brown Eggs

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Coat 9 nonstick muffin cups (regular size) with cooking spray. Add cracker pieces in a mini food processor if you haven’t already, and pulse until crumbs form. Place 1 teaspoon of the crumbs evenly in the bottom of each of the muffin cups.
  2. In a small bowl, combine thawed frozen spinach with red bell pepper. In another small bowl, combine shredded Gruyere with the green onions.
  3. Spoon ½ tablespoon of the spinach mixture into each muffin cup. Then top that with a tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Add ½ tablespoon of the remaining spinach mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle ground nutmeg and freshly ground pepper over the top of each as desired.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, beat milk and eggs together until well blended. Spoon 2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) of the mixture into each prepared muffin cup.
  5. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and remove quiches from muffin cups with a fork or spoon and serve warm or at room temperature.
