I've use this recipe exclusively since finding it in 2009. I've made countless quiches since. The first time I made this recipe was for a Tea Party I was hosting. I made the recipe exactly, only adding cooked (and diced) asparagus. Cooked them in muffin pan. It did take a couple of rounds to make the entire recipe. They were delicious! They made *SO* many and there weren't any leftovers. People took them home to share with their families. I've since made countless more over the years for brunches, dinners, gifts, and various get-togethers. I've made Turkey Bacon, broccoli cheddar, asparagus, veggie (bell pepper, tomato, and onion), and good old plain cheese. I have made this recipe with and without crust. When using a crust, I use a store bought frozen pie crust (for convenience since this recipe is so easy.) I usually blind bake the crust. I have made this quiche without blind baking the crust and it turned out just fine too. Bake for 50 minutes at 350. This recipe yields four 9 inch quiches. TIP: This recipe halves very easily. Try making different kinds with fun add ins or use different cheeses. Like me, you will get rave reviews!!!

These didn't work for me. They are VERY greasy and nearly impossible to remove from the pan. I ruined 1 for every 2 that i finally got out. They tasted just okay and the ones that didn't fall apart looked okay, but not worth it for me. I chose it because I needed alot of little bites easily and quickly - they were easy to make, went together quickly. I'm sorry that I didn't like them more. I was looking forward to them.<br/>Revision: Well, everybody who had these really liked them, so I'll figure a way to get them to release from the pan easily. Perhaps parchment paper disks or something. I let them sit in the refrigerator overnight before serving and served them close to room temperature.

These little quiches were okay, just a bit greasy for my taste. They looked presentable and were easily made.
