Mini Broccoli Quiches


A little over a month ago, my boyfriend and I moved in together. In doing so he made a pretty significant sacrifice. His commute went from a 2 minute walk, to a 45 minute (on a good day) drive. We are not morning people and he was skipping breakfast and just running out the door. So I started making muffins that he could just grab on his way out. I'm tired of making muffins every sunday, and he's probably tired of eating them for breakfast all week. This week I decided to try my hand at making some grab & go mini quiches he can just throw in the microwave for 30 seconds and run out the door with. They didn't turn out half bad....

Tara's Mini Broccoli and Cheese Quiche cups

1 Tbl butter
1/2 an onion chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
2 cups fresh chopped (small) broccoli
2 9 inch pie crusts
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 cup shredded mozzerella
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400
Cook the onion, garlic and broccoli in the tbl of butter until soft
mix together the cheddar & mozz cheese. Set aside
mix together eggs and milk with some salt and pepper set aside
Cut circles out of the dough and line 10 muffin cups with dough
Press a bit of the cheese mixture into the bottom of each cup (you will have about 1/2 the mixture left when you are finished with this step, it's ok we are going to use it)
Then distribute the broccoli mixture evenly between the 10 cups
Use a turkey baster to suck up the egg mixture and distribute egg mixture evenly
Then use the rest of the cheese to sprinkle on the top of each cup.
Bake at 400 for about 18-20 minutes.
