Mini Muffin Quiches

So the other day me and my friends were hanging out, and we got kind of hungry, so we were doing the staring into the fridge and not knowing what to eat or make. The only things we could find were some eggs, milk, tomatoes, and cheese... So what do you make with these ingredients? Well, little egg cakes of course! The best thing about quiches is that you can put almost anything in them. It's one of those empty the refrigerator dishes, and they taste good too, so how convenient is that huh?

Ingredients:
6 egg yolks (or 3 eggs)
5 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup milk
salt and pepper
2 tsp dried basil
Tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus, spinach, anything you would like.

Directions:
Beat eggs and add cheese, milk, and mix until all combined. Add any add inns you would like.
Pour into a muffin tin. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they're all baked.

Enjoy!

Quinoa Egg Muffins

So the other day we had some leftover from some quinoa I had cooked, and I felt like making something with the leftover, so I got a little creative and made these muffins with sausage and veggies in them, so they were more as a meal. 

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
3 eggs
1 cup spinach
2 spicy sausages
1/2 red onion
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 avocado
salt and pepper
Cheese (optional)

Directions:
Chop spinach and cut onions. Mix with the cooked quinoa and beaten eggs. Cut the sausage into 1/4 dices and stir in into the mixture. Pour into a muffin pan and bake in preheated oven at 320 degrees for 30-40 minutes until egg is fully cooked. Add cheese the last couple of minutes while baking if you want cheese on them.
