crustless quiches

These little things are so good for breakfast or appetizers. They would also be great for a brunch or a shower. This is just a basic recipe for quiche, but you can add many different things to them such as ham, bacon, spinach, different cheeses, sausage, and anything else your heart desires. I love spinach quiches... and its a great way to get some green into your kids (or you) without eating spinach just plain.
