Vegetable Quiche Cups to Go

This is from The South Beach Diet book--I love them. You can use any vegetables instead of the spinach--squash, artichokes, etc. It makes twelve mini-quiches. They freeze beautifully--I just pull a couple out and zap them for a minute or so. A serving of two pieces equals only 1 Point!

1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
3/4 cup shredded reduced fat cheese
1/4 cup diced bell peppers, any color
1/4 cup diced onions
3 drops tabasco sauce (optional)

Microwave the spinach to thaw and drain excess liquid.

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking cups (I didn't do this--just sprayed my non-stick pan with Pam.). Spray the cups with cooking spray.

Combine egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, spinach and hot sauce in a bowl, mixing well. Divide evenly among muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
