Little Baby Quiches!

It’s been a minute since I shared a recipe, so today I thought I’d share with you a Donahoo household staple! I’ve been making variations of this recipe regularly for probably 2 years now, and it’s one of my faves! Price loves it too!

Individual Turkey Bacon Quiches // THE HIVE (super high in protein!)

It’s for crustless (in a way… turkey bacon ends up being the crust!) quiches in individual muffin-sized servings! They’re pretty easy, pretty clean (as far as processed ingredients go), low carb, and super good for you! They’re also VERY easy to vary up… There’s no hard and fast rule for what all you can put in these babies… I’ve varied them up 100 times! I’ll give you a pretty basic recipe (which still tastes awesome in my opinion!) then you can take it from that point and get creative! 🙂

Individual Turkey Bacon Quiches // THE HIVE (super high in protein!)

>>> WHAT YOU’LL NEED <<<

12 strips turkey bacon
8 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbl. olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion, diced (frozen diced onions also work!)
3/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
2 cloves minced garlic
5 (or so) slices of deli turkey meat, cut up into small pieces
3/4 cup shredded cheese (any kind works, but I used low fat mozz)
3 large basil leaves, cut up. (dried basil works fine, too!)

>>> WHAT YOU’LL DO <<<

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.

3. Line each tin with a strip of turkey bacon, which will end up looking something like this:

4. Beat the 8 eggs together in a bowl or large measuring cup, then add salt and pepper to the eggs. Set aside.

5. Mix the onion, spinach, garlic, chopped turkey, cheese, and basil in a bowl until it looks sort of salad-esque. Like this!

6. Take the salad-looking mixture and divide it evenly between the 12 tins, like so:

7. Then, pour the egg mixture evenly amongst the 12 tins. I might recommend doing just a little in each tin then going back and filling in the skimpy cups. I tend to always run out of this sooner than I think I will!

8. Stick the pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until you see the slightest bit of browning on the tops of the quiches! Once done, remove and allow to cool.

9. Once cooled enough to handle, try one! See how ya like it! I hope you love it! 🙂

Like I mentioned earlier, these are easy and fun to vary up each time you make them! I’ve chopped up sun-dried tomatoes (and even regular tomatoes!) and added them in, used rosemary instead of basil, used ham instead of turkey, used Tony’s or Ranch seasoning in addition to salt and pepper… There are a million ways you can make these your own! 🙂

We usually eat a couple of these for breakfast, or take them as a snack for before or after lunch. They’re easy to pop in the microwave and heat up real fast! And they store beautifully for a few days in a freezer bag in the fridge. They usually don’t last more than 3 or 4 days at our house, though! 🙂

If you try this out, please come back and let me know what you think! I really hope you like it!! And I REALLY hope you have a GREAT weekend! 🙂 XO!
