Easy Mini Quiches
We used to work out-of-state most of the week and I got tired of the same old dried up egg, cheese, and sausage, after countless visits to Dunkin Donuts. So we found this beautiful and simple solution as rushing out the door didn’t help breakfast much either: mini quiches.
These little bites (mini quiches) are easy to make, store and transport, bursting with flavor. I made a batch of them on Sunday night and took them with me when I travel.
All you need to do is microwave (or toaster oven bake) once cooked and stored, and until its hot, enjoy at work or anywhere on the go. For some reason, as these mini quiches, reheating an omelette you made a few days ago isn’t nearly as appetizing, even though they have essentially the same ingredients. Plus, if you’re seen carrying a stack of omelettes around people would look at you funny.

How to make Mini Egg Quiches?
Recipe for mini quiches in muffin tin – As you have time, you can make as many mini quiches. In our 12-cup muffin tin, I made 24 at a time and store them in Tupperware or Ziplocs. We’d scarf them down in just a few days as they could last about a week. As for serving size, it depends on how hungry you are or the pairing. We usually had 3 mini quiches each.
