 Spicy Mini Quiche Cups
 
 
  Non-stick cooking spray  
4 Sheets    Phyllo pastry dough  
3   Eggs  
1 Cup    Egg substitute  
1/2 Package    Frozen chopped spinach (about 6 oz)  
1/3 Cup    Red pepper (or green, yellow, orange...)  
2/3   Jalapeño pepper, minced (to taste)  
1/4 Cup    Diced onions  
 
1 Clove    Garlic, crushed  
1/3 tsp    Salt  
1/3 tsp    Pepper, ground  
1/3-2/3 tsp    Cayenne pepper (to taste)  
1 1/3 tsp    Cumin seeds, ground (to taste)  
2 tsp    Chopped thyme  
1/3 Cup    Reduced-fat feta cheese  
8   Vine-ripened cherry tomatoes  
 
1 Heat oven to 350°F.
2 Spray muffin tin cups with non-stick spray. Unroll phyllo dough and cut stacks into 4 widthways, then across the center to create 8 squares. Lay one sheet in each cup, carefully molding it to the inside of the cup. Spray each dough cup with non-fat cooking spray and repeat layering until you have built up four layers.
3 Thaw and drain frozen spinach, wring out well by hand.
4 Gently whisk together eggs and egg substitute.
5 Add the spinach, peppers, jalapeno, onion, garlic, salt and seasonings and whisk well.
6 Fill the foil cups with the egg mixture. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed between the cups. Each cup should be almost full.
7 Sprinkle feta into each cup and top with one cherry tomato.
8 Bake for 20 minutes, testing with a knife to make sure the eggs are set in the middle.
9 Remove from oven and cool slightly before removing from muffin tin.
10 Can be stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
