Southwest Quiche Muffins Bento Box
by Amanda Keefer
Looking for a new idea for lunch? We love these Southwest Quiche Muffins. Easily meal-prepped for the week and ready in just about 30 minutes.
These Southwest quiche muffins are a great meal prep recipe packed full of protein and veggies. Make a batch for easy breakfasts all week, or these fun breakfast theme bento boxes!
Quiche muffins are one of those go-to recipes in my house. The formula is simple – eggs + milk + mix-ins. Bake in a muffin tin and pop into the fridge to enjoy all week.
For packing, we used the Large Trio Bento Box from LunchBots. We love that it has plenty of space for a few muffins and two nutritious sides.
This recipe calls for a Southwest combo of black beans, tomatoes, onions and cheese, and can be topped with fresh salsa, guacamole or avocado. We pack a mini guacamole serving and use a dip container for salsa.
