mini muffin quiche: the perfect high cholesterol breakfast

The first thing i made when i brought it home last night was mini quiche, based on the incomplete recipe i posted last week. I would like to take a moment to state for the record that I still don't like eggs. Also, I think I can feel my blood pressure rising when I eat egg yolks. Is that crazy? Next time egg white only!!

Here's whats in my eggs:
heat 2 T olive oil in pan
add 1 medium potato, grated (about one cup) and begin to cook.
add 1 C chopped mushroom (if you don't like mushrooms, you are not cutting them small enough and/or cooking them in enough butter/olive oil)
cook until a little brown, turn off heat and set aside

meanwhile, whisk together:
1/4 c flour
8 eggs
1/4 c cheddar (I just used the leftover cheddar from last week's farm share, since I got delicious Gouda for this week!)
touch of salt
some black pepper

turn oven to 350.

I used pam on half of my muffin pan, so six of them were a little easier to get out than the rest, although even the ones without pam released pretty easily. i guess i would recommend cooking spray but if you don't have it you'll be fine.

Spoon equal amount of the potato/musroom mix into the bottom of your muffin tin. Drop the egg/cheese mixture on top, bake for about 25 minutes (I generally don't use an oven timer... This drives my mother crazy... so 25 minutes is just a guess) Until a knife inserted comes out clean (or cheesy but not eggy) and they are a little golden.

I didn't even have hot sauce this morning and they were yum. I had two - one had more potato/mushroom mix than the other and that was more delicious, so I'd probably use a little more potato/mushroom next time.

  1. I don't use an oven timer either! I'm either confident or lazy, I can't decide.

  2. you always hated noise. all noise. especially annoying noise, though.
    i think my dislike is that i don't like other people to tell me what to do, even if it is an inanimate object that i asked to remind of something.

  3. Danny says noises or lights. I can tell if his computer didn't shut down properly and can't fall asleep if I hear it.

  4. I made these again, super yum. Used kale instead of mushrooms.
