Take your spinach and start taking off the ends. You don't have to but I did. This was a 12 ounce bag. Used about 3/4 of the bag. It depends on how much spinach you want to use and like.

I tore them off. First muffin tin I actually used a kitchen shredding tool. Then, I just started tearing them into little pieces. 2nd muffin tin I simply laid the pieces of whole spinach in cups.

I used leftover ham from Thanksgiving. I ended up only putting into one muffin tin. About a 1/4 cup for 12 muffin cups.               The other was vegetarian :)

Cut up your green pepper. I cut them small. I used about 3/4 of the pepper and it produced about 3/4 - 1 cup.  Next time I would use about 1/2 cup.  I used this in both muffin tins (24 muffin cups).

Can add your ham or whatever you'd like to your spinach crust. Disperse evenly amongst the 12 cups. I thought for future crustless quiche adventures I'd try adding bacon. mmmmm.. bacon.

After about 20-25 minutes your deliciousness should be complete. I checked on mine with about 5 minutes left and they puffed up. I think I added too much liquid to the cup. Still turned out though.
