Quiche Lorraine Mini Muffins

I love making quiche.  It’s an all in one delicious way to eat protein, vegetables, fresh herbs . . . whatever you want to add.  You might enjoy Spring Vegetables and Feta Quiche with Quinoa Crust or Spring Vegetable Crustless Quiche.

Quiche Lorraine is classic with it’s layers of egg, bacon and swiss cheese all nestled in a flaky crust, so Parisienne.  But a lot of folks don’t want the added calories from the crust, so I’ve made this one crustless and in a mini form; it’s the perfect size for a Mother’s Day Brunch or quick morning breakfast.

I love Swiss cheese and most brands are made from part-skim milk cheese which makes it lower in calories than most cheeses.  Just check the ingredient label to see if “cultured part-skim milk” is the first ingredient listed.

Each muffin is only 112 calories with 9 grams protein.  That’s a very good calorie to protein ratio.  You can boost the protein by adding a little chopped ham or by enjoying your muffin with a glass of milk or yogurt.

As the French say, “Bon Appetit”!
