Ingredients
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Cooked Sausage Crumbles (or diced ham)
  • pinch Salt
  • pinch Pepper

Prepare the Muffin Tin

Lightly grease a microwave-safe muffin tin (one cup) with cooking spray. If you don't have a muffin tin, you can use a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin. Ensure it's large enough to hold the ingredients.

Combine Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the shredded cheese, cooked sausage crumbles (or diced ham), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Pour into Muffin Tin

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin cup. Make sure not to overfill; leave a little space at the top.

Microwave

Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the egg is set. The cooking time can vary depending on your microwave's wattage. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's ready. If not, microwave for another 15-30 seconds.

Cool and Serve

Let the quiche cool for a minute or two before removing it from the muffin tin. You can run a knife around the edges to help loosen it. Serve warm and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use liquid egg whites instead of a whole egg?

    Yes, you can substitute the whole egg with about 2 tablespoons of liquid egg whites for a lower-fat option. However, the texture might be slightly different.
  • Can I add vegetables to this recipe?

    Yes! Cooked vegetables like spinach, chopped mushrooms, or bell peppers can be added. Make sure they are finely chopped and cooked before adding them to the egg mixture.
  • The bottom of my quiche is a little watery. What can I do?

    This can happen sometimes depending on your microwave and the ingredients you use. Next time, try microwaving for a shorter amount of time and then letting it sit for a minute or two to fully set.
  • Can I store leftovers?

    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
