Happy Birthday to my mum today!
In honor of my mum’s birthday I am writing a double post with not one but TWO recipes! Okay, it really has nothing to do with it being my mom’s birthday, other than that I happened to make one of these dishes this morning and she had some of it. Mostly I just made two quiche dishes recently and instead of doing back to back quiche posts I’m combining them into one Super Post.
Quiche #1 - Potato Crust Veggie Quiche
This is a great healthy meal. Really you can make it into whatever you are feeling at the time it’s so flexible. The recipe calls for 2 cups chopped veggies, but it doesn’t specify what veggies, so really it’s up to you. I love recipes with built in wiggle room in which I get to be creative! I used zucchini and squash as my main veggies. Awesome for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Definitely play with this! Add different things to your liking. This would be great with some chopped up crispy bacon added into it. Try different veggies out! Next time I might add in some grated carrot. Don’t be afraid of the potato crust browning in the oven, the original poster of this recipe is right, those are some of the tastiest bits.
Quiche #2 - Canadian Bacon and Scallion Mini Quiches
These are what I made for breakfast this morning. Very tasty and didn’t take very long at all! 10 minutes prep and 20 in the oven. Perfect for either a lazy weekend morning or a busy weekday one (pop them in the oven and finish getting ready for the day!) with little time to spare. I am a HUGE fan of anything you can make miniaturized in a muffin tin, and these little guys are no exception. Three or four bites each and packed with tasty flavor.

I would definitely recommend these as-is, but I think some other flavor combos could be bangin’ as well. If you aren’t concerned with the health factor, regular bacon or ground sausage would be delicious as well. These could be made with all veggies and no meat, or some combination of both. Spinach would probably be a wonderful addition. Next time I am going to try chopped spinach and bacon. The only difference between what I did here this time and the recipe was that I used shredded cheddar instead of swiss.
Now for all of my extra pictures!
Look at all of those beeeaauuuuuuuutiful veggies in there!
My piece of the (delicious) pie.
Soooo cute and yummy! I love cute food. Four bites each!
