Crustless Broccoli & Cheese Mini Quiches

Crustless Broccoli & Cheese Mini Quiches - July 29th, 2012

This recipe was listed as a "Snack", but I thought these would be perfect for breakfast. Thankfully, I was right.

"These low-fat quiches come with an impressive amount of protein for a meat-free snack. Use them as snacks throughout the day to keep cravings at bay, or pair a couple of quiches with some fresh fruit and a slice of multigrain bread or a bowl of oatmeal for a balanced start to your day (eggs are a breakfast favorite, after all!)."

While making these I did doubt how these would turn out. After stirring up the yogurt-egg mixture, it didn't look like there was enough to actually produce 10 quiches. I was kinda right...there was enough for 9...small ones.

With the sauteed broccoli and cheese in the muffin cups, there was only enough liquid mixture to put one and a half tablespoons into each cup.  While these didn't exactly 'puff up' while baking, they cooked around the broccoli and made these cute little quiches.

Greek yogurt is my new favourite. Even better is that I discovered 3/4 cup of it has 18g of protein. When used in this recipe, two quiches have 11g of protein. Not bad at all. A very sufficient breakfast, especially when paired with a gorgeous fruit salad.
