I had so much fun making mini quiches for lunch today for Jeff and me. I started off thinking that I would make spinach quiche because I hadn't made one in a long time and Jeff was working at home today so I thought it might be a treat. I told him what I was thinking and he said he would like his without spinach and no meat. So I saw online where they made individuals in a muffin tin! Perfect! I decided to make a whole bunch of different kinds for a mini quiche sampler!
Not all of them had crust. Actually only 4 out of 10 did because I used the leftover pie crust I had saved and frozen from the pie I made Jeff this week. It worked well! I've never been a fan of cooking pie crust with cinnamon and sugar, so I'm happy to have found a use for it instead of throwing it away like I had been. Eeeek! Imagine all that pie crust I've wasted when I could have been making minis! So, here's the sampler:
3 cheese and black pepper with crust
1 cheese,black pepper, red and green bell pepper with crust
2 cheese, mushroom, red and green bell pepper with no crust
3 cheese, spinach, Canadian bacon, red/green bell pepper with no crust
1 cheese, bell peppers, and Canadian bacon with no crust
My favorite was the three with Canadian bacon and Jeff's was the mushroom ones except he prefers it with crust!
It was a lot of fun to make, didn't take too much time...only use 3 eggs (mixed with a little milk), fill muffin cup half full, and bake at 375 for about 25 minutes until light brown and set, and they were fun to eat! Oh, and don't forget to spray the pan so they pop right out! We had them with English muffins.

Amy,
ReplyDeletethose look delicious ... what kind of crust did you use... will they freeze well? I like it that they don't take that many eggs...what a nice treat for guest.

Is that you mom? I've not seen this name, so I'm not 100% sure! Anyway, just regular pie crust-the Crisco recipe, I read online that they freeze well, but we ate them all and so I haven't tried it yet. I'm sure you could just defrost and heat them up though. They would be a nice treat for a guest, or you! No reason not to treat yourself, right? :) Love you!
DeleteOh, I see you used a pie crust...which did you like? Crust or no crust?

I didn't try the crust, but Jeff preferred the crusted ones. I liked the no crust because it cuts down the fat and makes it healthier. I really really liked the flavor that the Canadian Bacon gave it, but Jeff preferred the mushroom flavor! :) Sampler=each to his own! :)
