Mini Quiche Tarts image

These mouth-watering quiches make such a delicious snack. We've made the base out of almonds and gluten free oats and the filling is eggs, sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion with a dash of nutritional yeast. Traditional quiche is not usually a healthy option as it generally contains quite a lot of cream cheese. For this nutritious alternative we've substituted cream cheese for skimmed milk and used nutritional yeast to give the cheesy flavour. We've also used a mix of whole eggs and egg whites to help manage cholesterol levels. You can choose any fillings you like instead of the sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion. Hope you enjoy!
