Make Ahead Mini Quiches
These make a great quick addition to breakfast! This recipe makes 24 muffin size quiches. I counted 2 mini quiches as one serving.
12 oz pkg frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1 1/2 c diced reduced fat ham
1 c reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 c fat free half and half
1 c water
12 egg whites
pepper to taste
Sprinkle broccoli, ham and cheese equally into 24 well sprayed muffin cups. (even if you use liners, you will want to spray them) Mix together the half and half, water and egg whites and black pepper. Pour into muffin cups - I filled them not quite 2/3 full with the egg mixture.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool. Place in freezer bags and freeze. Remove from freezer and microwave. I heated 2 for one minute on high and it was perfect.
12 servings

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Muffins
2 cake mixes ( I like to mix and match with the following flavors - butter pecan, carrot, and spice)
1 big can (or 4 c) Pumpkin puree
1 - 2 cups of chips (I've used mini choc chips, semi sweet chips, milk chocolate, butterscotch, cinnamon and white chocolate - I like to combine them - I love the butterscotch with the pumpkin)
1 c dried fruit (opt) - dried cranberries would be my choice
Mix the cake mixes and pumpkin together and stir in the chips and fruit if desired. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the top springs back when you touch it. You can also use the recipe for cookies - just bake them for - 10 minutes.
This is a great low fat and cholesterol free recipe. It makes about 36 muffins.
