Muffin top begone! Fixed serving sizes can help prevent overeating. This recipe takes the guesswork out of the equation and uses muffin tins to pre-portion the delicious little quiches!
Since it is National Physical Fitness Month this month, I wanted to share this recipe with you so you can spend more time focused on your sweat sessions and moving your body and less time in the kitchen!
Potatoes, cheese and greens make these mini quiches super satisfying. Bake up a batch over the weekend and you'll have breakfast available in a hurry for the rest of the week.
Plus, they are super versatile. You can pretty much use whatever you have in the fridge to mix and match flavors. Add a little fruit or fresh juice, and voile'! Perfect breakfast to fuel your day.
