Quiche can be enjoyed plain (cheese) or you can add your own twist by incorporating the things you enjoy like spinach, mushrooms, smoked salmon, and more.
Quiche is one of those dishes that you can eat any time of the day whether it’s breakfast or lunch time. What makes this dish so versatile are the various add-ins that can be incorporated into your egg mixture.
Tips when making Quiche:
- Some people make their own crust, but I choose to go with store bought mini shells.
- It’s important to cook your veggies before mixing in with the other ingredients.
- Mind the baking time betwen making the mini pie version versus the whole pies; the mini’s cook slightly faster.
When you are at any family gatherings during the holidays give these Mini Quiche Pies a spot on the table and everyone will be thanking you later.
