Frequently Asked Questions
While eggs are high in cholesterol, we now know thatdietary cholesterolhas minimal impact on the cholesterol levels in our blood.Eggs are a great source of several nutrients, including protein, choline, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, and can fit nicely into a varied, healthy diet.
Like eggs, cheese can also get a bad rap. Butcheese contains important nutrients, including protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin B12. As for the saturated fat in cheese, there is some research that suggests that the type of saturated fat in cheese might not be a big contributor to heart disease. You’ll even get some gut-healthy probiotics in cheese. If you’re watching your sodium intake, choose lower-sodium cheese, including Cheddar, mozzarella and Swiss.
Yes, you can! Frozen spinach is a good alternative to fresh as long as it is thawed and squeezed dry. Wet and watery ingredients will leave you with wet and watery muffin-tin quiches. Be sure to squeeze dry thawed spinach before adding it to the egg mixture.
Definitely! Try other variations of these muffin-tin egg recipes, such assausage and Gruyère,bell pepper, black beans and Monterey Jack cheese,spinach and mushroom,feta and cherry tomatoorbroccoli, ham and Cheddar. Muffin-tin quiches are a great way to use up leftoverroasted vegetablestoo.
Absolutely! To make ahead, individually wrap them in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds until warmed through.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
