Quiche Three Ways

Mornings seem to always be a mad rush at my house, regardless of how much I prep and plan the night before.  For that reason, I really like to have things on hand that I can whip up or grab as I race out the door and into traffic.  This is a recipe for a large quantity of quiches- I made about 50 but the amounts can easily be adjusted if you wanted to make less.  For every two eggs I use half a cup of milk.  The other ingredients don’t have to be in exact quantities either, you can really use any veggies that you have in the refrigerator.  The amount of salt and spice can also be adjusted easily according to taste.

It’s important to have everything prepped and in place before starting.  Measure out the milk, grate the cheese, and cut up all the meat and veg.

The next step is to beat the eggs with the milk and add the seasonings.

Split the veggies/meat/and cheese into three different bowls according to what I’d like in each quiche.  Distribute the egg mixture evenly into the three bowls with the veggies and mix well.

Pour into the pre-made tart shells and bake in a preheated oven until the centers are set (approx 25-30 minutes).

Once cooled, these tarts freeze really well and can be reheated in a toaster oven straight out of the freezer.
