CLAUDIA'S LOW FAT SPINACH & BACON QUICHE MUFFINS



Claudia's Low Fat Spinach & Bacon Quiche Muffins image

I've been perfecting this recipe since having something similar at Panera Bread. The garlic in it is not to be overwhelming - just a kiss of garlic. Garlic lovers, please resist the temptation to double the garlic. This recipe will knock your socks off, as is! So delicious! Great for freezing.

Time 40m

Yield 16 muffins, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup turkey bacon, diced (approx 1/4 - 1/2 pounds)
3 ounces fat free cream cheese (softened)
1 1/4 cups Egg Beaters egg substitute (or 5 eggs, beaten)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup green onion, diced (optional)
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (10 ounce) frozen spinach, thawed & liquid squeezed out
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Saute onions & garlic in olive oil, 1 minute.
  • Add turkey bacon, cook until bacon is browned, but not crisp, approximately 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain. (I like to blot with a paper towel to get out all the excess grease.).
  • Combine cream cheese, Eggbeaters and milk; smashing cream cheese with back of the spoon until it is broken up.
  • Add salt & pepper to taste to egg mixture.
  • Add bacon mixture, green onions, cheese and spinach to egg mixture.
  • Unroll crescent rolls.
  • Working with ¼ of the crescent rolls at a time (2 triangles), pinch seams together and roll with rolling pin out on floured board to an 8x8 square. Cut into fourths.
  • Place ¼ into each muffin cavity to form 1 muffin. Press up in muffin tin to fully line the muffin cavity.
  • Repeat with remaining crescent rolls.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes @ 375 degrees or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
  • When slightly cooled, run knife around muffin to release. Serve or store for later use.
  • Cool completely before storing in Ziplock bag.
  • When ready to serve, place muffin on plate and reheat in microwave.
  • Yield: 16 muffins.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh bacon, spinach, and eggs will give your muffins the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin tins evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Bacon spinach muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They're perfect for meal prep, as they can be made ahead of time and reheated. You can also freeze the muffins for later. With their savory bacon and spinach flavors, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
