No crust quiche muffins

I felt like egg muffins today. I usually don't add the flour to them but saw a recipe that did so I thought I would give it a try. It did set a little better but it can certainly be eliminated. Play with the ingredients and add what you like, this is just what I had on hand this morning. Careful not to overfill the muffins as they will spill over in the oven. Enjoy!


Ingredients
  •  
  •         1 small onion, chopped
  •         1/2 medium bell pepper, chopped
  •         2 slices ham cut in small pieces (I used Kirland lean ham slices)
  •         1  cup frozen chopped spinach (If using fresh, wilt down 3 cups)
  •         6 large  whole eggs, beaten
  •         9 TBL liquid egg whites
  •         1/3 cup 1% milk (or milk of choice)
  •         1/3 cup all purpose flour
  •         Salt and pepper
  •         3 ounces shredded cheese (I used queso blanco)
  •         3 TBL parmesan cheese


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use cooking oil to grease a nonstick muffin pan and set aside.

While oven is preheating, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and peppers until soft; Season with salt and pepper. Add ham and spinach and heat through and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, flour.  Mix in cheese, salt and pepper until well combined.
Portion out the vegetable and meat mixture into 6 large or 12 regular muffin wells. Pour the egg mixture on top. Careful not to overfill, they will rise a little. Sprinkle parmesan over tops of each muffin. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until firm.
