Asparagus Mini Quiches

Asparagus Mini-Quiches

  

Makes 12 Servings

Serving size 1 quiche

Preparation Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

  

Ingredients

Butter flavored cooking spray

1/2 cup fresh chopped red onion

1 garlic clove, large, minced

1/3 cup fat free milk

6 egg whites

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 pinch table salt (to taste)

1 pinch black pepper, ground (to taste)

6 tortilla, whole wheat

12 oz reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese

4 fresh asparagus spears, fresh, small, thinly sliced

  

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2 Mist 12 cups of a standard size, nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.

3 Spray a small, nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic. Cook, mixing occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until almost tender. Take the pan off the heat, place to the side for later.

4 In a large measuring cup, blend the milk, egg whites, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk to mix well. Set aside.

5 With a 3 ¾ round cookie cutter, cut circles out of each tortilla. Fit each into one of the 12 cups in the prepared tin, taking care not to tear the circles.

6 Distribute the cheese, asparagus, and reserved onion combination between the cups.

7 Add the egg white mixture evenly into each cup until it is three-quarters filled.

8 Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the egg-white mixture has set and the tortillas are evenly crisped around the edges. Serve right away.
