Mini Quiche Recipe

I am a total foodie.  I love to eat.  I have a serious carbohydrate habit.  Dipping a crusty baguette into olive oil and spices is a delicious pleasure that is not very Weight Watchers friendly.  The same goes for potato chips and macaroni and cheese.  I also enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes, but I am usually cooking for one and while leftovers are delicious, I don't want to be eating the same thing for a week and not everything freezes well.  Currently, I am trying to overhaul my recipes and make them "healthier."  I also have developed an obsession with wonton wrappers.  It started with trying to make crab rangoons, but baked instead of fried.  So far I have not been successful in creating a rangoon filling I am happy with, but I have found many other brilliant uses for these little wonton wrappers.  One of which is using a wonton wrapper as the crust for a quiche. 

Mini Quiche:

Makes 4 quiche. 
Serves 2.
Weight Watchers Points Plus: 3 points per serving.

Ingredients:
4 sprays olive oil cooking spray
4 wonton wrappers
1 large egg
3 tablespoons 1% milk
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
5 or so leaves of spinach
1 slice of Canadian bacon
4 baby bella mushroom slices
pinch of any herb or seasoning you like - I used rosemary and black pepper


Spray 4 of the cupcake holes in a cupcake pan.  Push a wonton wrapper into each hole. 

In a bowl, combine the egg, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and any seasonings desired.

Divide the egg mixture among the 4 wonton lined cups.

Chop the spinach and Canadian bacon.

Evenly distribute the spinach, Canadian bacon, and mushrooms between the 4 cups.  Make sure to give each cup a gentle stir so that everything has a coating of the egg mixture. My baby bella mushrooms were pre-sliced, but I thought they were a little thick, so I sliced them again and put both halves in each cup.  Here they are right before going into the oven.   

 

 

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes (be sure egg is cooked through).  The quiches (quiche?) will look fluffy.  They will deflate some as they cool. 

 

 

They taste pretty good reheated. 

At only 3 points for 2 mini quiche, I think they make a good breakfast with some fruit.

Yum.

 

 

 

 All photos were taken with my iPhone in my tiny apartment kitchen with zero natural lighting.  I know, total bummer.  And I would also like to point out that my cookie jar is empty.  Another bummer.  I have found some one point cookie recipes that Manfred the Moose cookie jar is itching for me to try.
