Mini Quiche ( TERRAFit Approved)

I love quiche!! There are about 8 million recipies out there for it so I took the basics and made my own recipe! Hope you enjoy!!

Mini Quiche

7 Eggs
1/2 cup Skim Milk
1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional-add any shredded cheese you'd like)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Add any veggies you want! I added:
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 small onion diced
1 green pepper
1 handful spinach roughly chopped

Tomatoes, bacon, and/or sausage would be yummy too!

Preheat oven to 350 and Grease 12 muffin tins.  Cook veggies in olive oil on stovetop until somewhat softened. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Mix eggs, milk, and cheeses in a medium bowl.  Add veggies to eggs and mix until combined. Pour into muffin tins and fill almost to the top. Add shredded cheese if you want. Cook for 40-50 minutes. They will be golden on the top.  Serve with salsa, sour cream, or avacado's! This recipe can be easily made to fit into the TERRAFit program!
