Quiche Muffins

I spent some time this afternoon looking for a recipe for an egg dish that I could easily eat before leaving for work each morning.  I need to eat something in order to take my blood pressure meds and I don't want to go overboard.  The following came out to 187 calories.  Instead of 12 muffins, I made 8 mini loaves about 1.5x3 inches.  The original recipe I looked at called for diced green peppers and I didn't have any so I used chopped fresh baby spinach instead.  Chris and split one when they finished baking.  They are GOOD!

I will probably use different veggies for variety until a doctor tells me my cholesterol is too high!  My first try could have used a little more flavor so I will use some fresh herbs next time.

5 eggs
1 C. skim milk
1 C. Bisquick
1 Roma tomato, chopped
1 handful fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2oz. ham, diced
2.5oz. shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Beat the eggs and milk.  Add the Bisquick, tomato, spinach, onion, ham and cheese and mix until just incorporated.  Season with salt and pepper.  Ladle into muffin cups or greased mini loaf pans.  Bake for 20 and check.  In my oven, they needed an additional 5 minutes.  They were just starting to turn golden brown and were firm and not wiggly in the center.

According to myfitnesspal.com this recipe has 187 calories, 9.9g. fat, 14.3g. carbs, and 9.9g. protein in each of the 8 loaves
