These mini quiche (tarts - call them what you will) are so easy, they store really well in the freezer and can certainly wow at any meal. They do look as though you've been slaving away in the kitchen, when in reality you've only spent ~20 minutes without breaking a sweat. The combinations are endless and only limited by your imagination. Get your little one's involved too they are so easy to make!!
I will be making a batch for Christmas, but these ones I've been having for breakfast and lunch over the last week. High in protein packed with fresh vegetables and delicious to boot. What more do you want?
Let's get started...

After my muffin cases were filled I had more of the mixture left over. I lightly oiled this ridged cake tin and add the rest of the ingredients.
