Suggestions


If you would prefer to make one large quiche no problem, the same filling, add whatever mix-ins however I strongly suggest using pie crust or the thinly pressed down refrigerator biscuits.

The bread will not work with the recipe on a large quiche because it needs a sturdy foundation.

We have been making these for years for parties, picnics, and travel foods, and for an on-the-go busy family your can't beat this easy breakfast muffin it's really super easy and delicious.
