Here's a wonderful mini quiche recipe! They are great for brunch, breakfast or snacks. They also make great finger food at a dinner party. If you'd like to freeze them, simply wrap them individually in plastic and freeze them for up to 1 month.

Ingredients:

8 oz. turkey or chicken breakfast sausage, chopped

1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

8 oz. sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup sliced scallions

1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

5 eggs

3 egg whites

1 cup 1% milk

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Position rack in center of oven. Coat nonstick 12 cup muffin poan or use paper baking cups.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Add oil to pan and add mushrooms. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to bowl with the sausage and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, cheese and pepper.

Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk in a medium bowl. Divide egg mixture evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle a heaping Tbsp. of sausage mixture into each cup.

Bake until tops are just beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Place rack on top of pan and flip over to turn the quiches out onto the rack. Turn upright and let cool completely before serving. Makes 1 dozen.

Note: I always seem to have some of the sausage mixture left after making these so I usually use it to make a yummy omelet the next morning. Delicious!
