Ingredients
- 3/4 cup liquid egg substitute

- 1/4 cup diced green or red bell pepper
- 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed very dry

Preheat oven to 350F. Line 12-cup muffin pan with foil-lined baking cups, spray cups with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Or spray an 8-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
