Mini Crustless Turkey Bacon & Onion Quiche

This easygoing dish is wonderfully simple. The eggs are mixed with a combination of milk and half and half, producing a creamy, but not heavy, egg-based breakfast. It takes just 15 minutes to prepare before going into the oven. Serve these up for brunch or grab one and reheat at work. This recipe is versatile, too. We’ve added in onion, turkey bacon, Gruyère cheese, and chives, but you could use any combination of ingredients you like, and these are a perfect vehicle for transforming leftovers into something new. Just be sure anything you add in is cooked before getting stirred into the egg mixture.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-hole muffin pan with cooking spray.

3. In a blender, combine eggs, egg whites, milk, half-and-half, flour, salt and pepper until foamy, about 20 seconds. Pour about 3 Tbsp egg mixture into each muffin cup; sprinkle each with about 2 tsp cheese.
