This sounds like a great weekend recipe. During the week I don't have time for something like this, but it sounds like a great Saturday morning recipe.

Hi there! We do not recommend this recipe for freezing, because the crust and spinach will become watery. While the Test Kitchen has not tried it before, we believe that you can make this recipe in muffin tins. We recommend trying our recipe for Fiesta Breakfast Cups. Here is the link http//www.everydaydiabeticrecipes.com/Eggs/Fiesta- == Breakfast-Cups ) Enjoy!

For those of us who don't care for egg substitutes will you please tell us how many real eggs are in 1 cup?

Hi there! We use egg substitute in many of our diabetic-friendly recipes in order to cut back on some of the fat. However, if you prefer to use whole eggs, the substitution is as follows: 1 egg equals 1/4 cup of egg substitute. For this recipe you would need 3 eggs. Enjoy!

To make half this recipe, how long should I bake it?

The Test Kitchen doesn't recommend making half of this recipe. If you were to make only half of it, the quiche would be very thin with a disproportionate amount of crust.
