Mini Smoked Cheddar (And Bacon?) Quiches
"This is a simple and delicious way to use up extra eggs. The caramelized green onions go incredibly well with the smoked cheddar.The mini quiches are adorable and reheat well the next day. My boyfriend loves bacon (and I'm a vegetarian) so I made half the quiches with bacon and half without!"

I made these for breakfast today. I cut the portions down (using the serving conversion chart) to 3, since it was just hubby and I. I did get 2 muffin cups filled with the recommended ingredients. I made both with the bacon option, frying 2 strips and crumbling them. I also only used 1 skillet. I fried the bacon first, then used the drippings to make the onions. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but mine didn't turn out as pretty as what is pictured. I greased the cups, but they still stuck. We didn't get the muffin appearance at all, but they were tasty. I will try these again, I just have to figure out how to make them work. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Until recently, my meals typically consisted of very simple foods put together at the last minute. While this can be tasty and easy, I want to develop my cooking skills to be able to build meals with deeper and more complex flavors.
What better way to start than to try, try, and try more recipes! Hopefully, through my reviews and postings I can grow as a cook and person.
