Pronto Quiche

"Pronto Quiche"
This Mexican quiche was full of chorizo, eggs, tons of cheese, cream and a crust that was to die for. I don't even want to know what the calorie intake was but I messed with the ingredients, took out the crust, and substituted Egg Beaters for the eggs. For all you egg lovers out there, give Egg Beaters a real try — they are worth every penny!

Ingredients
3/4 Cup Liquid Egg Substitute (I like the Whole Foods version)
3/4 Cup Organic Shredded Mexican Style Cheese (You can find this anywhere)
1 Minced Jalapeño Pepper (You can include more Jalapeños for more Kick)
1/4 Cup Small Diced Organic Scallions (White & Green Parts)
1/4 Cup Small Diced Organic Tomatoes
1/4 Cup Small Dices Organic Canadian Bacon (For Vegetarians leave this out but throw in some spinach — yum!).

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin tin* with aluminum cupcake holders. Spray them with cooking spray.

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, divide amongst the muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean once inserted in center. These are so awesome because once they are cool, throw them in the fridge and reheat as you need or throw them in your bag/purse on your way to work.

*This works awesome for a Sunday brunch too — Spray a tart pan (with a breakaway bottom) with cooking spray, place mixture in tart pan bake until a tooth pick inserted in middle comes out clean about 30 minutes.
