Mini Quiche Recipe

A very quick and easy to make mini quiche recipe. This mini quiche can be served for breakfast or as an appetizer or snack. I also feel it would be a perfect appetizer for any party.

I had made apple pie yesterday and had some crust dough left over. Today I thought, why not use it in making mini quiche. I quickly put together some ingredients to make the filling for the mini quiche and in half an hour, I had these amazing mini quiches looking at me. They look good, don’t they?

The best part is you can just vary the filling based on your interest. I had broccoli and corn with me in the fridge and used them with the egg. You could also add any other veggies (carrots, capsicum, onion, green peas) to the mini quiche as per your taste and availability.
