Veggie Crustless Quiche Bites

 

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cups chopped mushrooms (any kind)
  • 1/4 medium green bell pepper 
  • 1/4 medium red bell pepper 
  • 1/4 medium orange/yellow bell pepper 
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese or cheese blend
  • 1 (3.5-oz) container feta cheese  
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup sautéed spinach 
  • 1 cup small bites of chopped already cooked sautéed potatoes (salt and pepper)
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs (gluten-free if desired)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium. Add onion, diced; cook 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add mushrooms, peppers, spinach and already cooked potatoes (for warming). Cook 7–10 minutes, stirring often, or until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk your eggs until fully combined. Stir in cheeses.
  4. When vegetables are ready, cool and then add egg mix, sat and pepper.
  5. Spray a 9-inch glass pie dish with olive oil cooking spray. Shake 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs (gluten-free, if desired) over bottom; shake and swirl dish until crumbs cover bottom evenly. Stir cooled vegetables into egg mixture; pour into prepared dish. Bake 25–30 minutes, until set in center.
  6. You can, of course, serve this as a whole quiche pie, but if you are looking for bite sized pieces, let the pie cool completely.  Once cooled, take a mini biscuit cutter and begin around the edges until the pie has been completely cut into small bites.  Add a little chive or parsley for garnish.  DELISH!
