Individual Quiches

Last night I had a craving for Quiche, but having never made one, I wasn’t sure if I had the correct ingredients or if it would be too difficult. As it turns out, it was super easy and delicious!
I started by seeking out Quiche recipes, specifically looking for individual Quiche. After reviewing about 6 recipes, I decided I was going to have to mix and match. Here’s what I came up with:
Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 tbsp skim milk
2 tbsp shredded parmesan
handful of shredded cheddar
2/3 cup of chopped fresh spinach
2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 small can of Pillsbury Crescent rolls
I simply forgot to add any herbs, but on retrospect, most of the recipes I reviewed suggested a little rosemary and thyme in addition to salt and pepper. Mine was great without, but I will try it next time.
I whisked the eggs, milk, and cheese together and then added the bacon and spinach. I sprayed a medium-sized muffin tin with canola oil spray and placed a cut out round of the crescent roll dough in the bottom of 4 of the cups. I ladled the egg mixture into each until completely filled. Then, I baked at 350 for 20 minutes. They puffed up beautifully (though they did fall a bit after I took them out). Golden and bubbly with cheese, I couldn’t wait to eat them. All the recipes had instructed to wait 10 minutes before releasing from the tins, so I tried to wait as long as I could. I used a very thin bamboo skewer to pull them away from the tin and they slid right out.
I burned my tongue because I didn’t wait long enough, but darn, they were so yummy! I can’t wait to make them again, in a bigger batch!
