Eggs, Mini Quiche

So one of my favorite egg dishes is quiche, if it is done properly. I truly love a good quiche for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. However, I do not like green things in breakfast quiche...save that for dinner everyone! Here is my favorite way to make quiche...Individually in a muffin tin! They aren't truly "mini" like the appetizers, but they are the perfect size and design for taking to lunch at work, or on a picnic, or even just to have a meal for one or two. I can only eat one quiche this size, but Price can eat two. Feel free to adapt the recipe to suit your own needs. I have put a "basic" recipe below.

Mini Quiche (serves 6).
3 eggs
1 refrigerated pie crust circle, cut into six circles with a cookie cutter (there will be scraps)
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp cayenne pepper
6 tbsp filling mix and match from below
Fillings:
3 tbsp browned ground breakfast sausage and 3 tbsp cheese
3 tbsp bacon bits and 3 tbsp cheese
2 tbsp bacon bits, 2 tbsp cheese, and 6-8 torn spinach leaves
6 tbsp cheese
6 tbsp browned sausage or bacon bits
2 tbsp bacon bits, 2 tbsp cheese, 3 sliced mushrooms, and 6 torn spinach leaves
2 tbsp bacon bits, 2 tbsp diced tomatoes, 6 torn spinach leaves, and 2 tbsp cheese
There are more fillings, but you can come up with them!

Directions:
Mix the eggs, milk, and cayenne pepper together. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray. Add one pie crust circle to each tin and press down. Evenly add the filling to each cup one ingredient at a time. Cover with the egg mixture. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
