What you need to make this recipe:
- Cooking spray or butter (optional)
- 5 large whole eggs
- 5 large egg whites or 2/3 cup of liquid egg whites
- 1/3 cup skim milk

How to make Crustless Mini Quiches with Black Beans:
Step 1: Preheat an oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 2: Prepare a 12-cup muffin tray.
- Option 1: Lightly grease each cup in the muffin tray with cooking spray.
- Option 2: Lightly grease each cup in the muffin tray with butter using parchment paper.
- Option 3: Put one muffin liner in each cup of the muffin tray.
Step 3: Put the whole eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and ground pepper in a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk or a fork, whisk ingredients together until combined.
Step 4: Using a ladle, fill each cup in the muffin tray ¾ full with the egg mixture.
Step 5: Put the bell pepper, cheese, black beans, and tomato in a medium mixing bowl. Using a spoon, stir until combined.
Step 6: Using a spoon, put about 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture on top of each quiche. The bean mixture should be evenly distributed between the quiches.
Step 7: Bake the quiches in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a butter knife inserted in the center of a quiche comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool the quiches in the tray for 10 to 15 minutes on the top of the stove.
Step 9: After 10 to 15 minutes, take the quiches out of the muffin tray by running a butter knife between the side of each quiche and the wall of the tray. Use a clean fork to lift each quiche out of the tray.
Step 10: Put the quiches on a cooling rack or plate to finish cooling, or serve them warm.
