MINI QUICHE

Photobucket

In French cuisine, a quiche is an oven baked dish made with milk or cream and egg in a pastry crust. The . pastry shell is filled with cooked vegetables or  precooked  meat and cheese are often added to the egg mixture before it is baked.  It is normally served during lunch, dinner or breakfast according to your personal preference.

This is my first attempt baking a quiche. For a healthier choice, I had cut down the butter used but overall they are excellent and a big hit with my family.  Precooked fresh vegetables if you're using them but now I'd added canned corn kernel and green peas  for this recipe..
