These cute little crustless quiches are ideal for families on the go. Whip up a batch (or two) on Sunday evening, and you have an easy go-to breakfast for busy weekday mornings. They're also quite versatile–this version features spinach and mozzarella, but cooked broccoli and cheddar or crispy bacon are yummy substitutes or additions. They freeze well, too.

made with broccoli, Mexican cheese mix and bacon (half w/ out bacon). Son didn't like, daughter preferred bacon ones. Pretty good! Easy to take to swim meets for quick protein meal.

I made these this morning and doubled the recipe. I agree that you can use less oil to cook your onions. I used broccoli rabe & shitake mushrooms instead of spinach. I think they would be very good with a spicy chicken or turkey sausage too. It was an easy recipe, great for a weekend breakfast, and clearly it's easy to put your own twist on it with veggies, cheese or meat. The salt can be completely left out if you use a saltier cheese or sausage.

I thought this was great, but also recommend cutting the oil and salt. I used 1 tsp of oil and 1/4 tsp of salt and added about 1/2 cup of Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles. If I made it again I probably wouldn't add any salt at all. The serving size says 1 quiche. That's a joke. I ate two and I'm not hungry, but not stuffed either. A great recipe because it's mostly stuff you have on hand.

You need to decrease the amount of salt and oil, for a more heart friendly version. This works well with egg beaters fat free milk and low fat cheesse
