Mexican Quiches - Mini-Sized image

Great to have in the freezer for unexpected guests - as an appetizer or brunch. I often make these and freeze (well-covered) in air-tight container. When it's party time, place frozen quiches on serving plate; place in microwave and cook on Reheat setting just until slightly warm. You can take a few or lots from the freezer to accommodate the number of guests. There are never any leftovers. Preparation time includes 1 hour refrigeration.

These quiches were so easy to make and they turned out great. I used a pre-made pie crust to save time and the filling came together in just a few minutes. I will definitely be making these again for my next party.

I made a low-carb version of these quiches by using a cauliflower crust. They were still very flavorful and satisfying. I served them with a side of grilled vegetables.

I made a dairy-free version of these quiches by using almond milk instead of regular milk and vegan cheese. They were still very delicious and satisfying. I served them with a side of fruit salad.

I used a gluten-free pie crust mix to make these quiches and they turned out great. The crust was nice and crispy and the filling was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making these again.

I made a vegetarian version of these quiches by using black beans and corn instead of chorizo. They were still very flavorful and satisfying. I served them with a side of salsa and guacamole.

I love spicy food, so I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the filling. It gave the quiches a nice kick of heat. I also used a spicy chorizo, which really took the flavor up a notch.

I made a few modifications to the recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat flour for the crust and reduced the amount of cheese. The quiches were still delicious and I felt good about eating them.

These quiches were a lifesaver for my busy weeknights. I made a batch on Sunday and had them for breakfast and lunch all week. They were so easy to reheat and still tasted great. My kids loved them too!

I followed the recipe exactly and the quiches turned out perfectly. The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I loved the addition of the poblano peppers, which added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

I love these mini quiches! They are the perfect party food or snack. I often make a double batch and freeze half for later. They reheat well and are just as delicious the second time around.

These quiches were delicious and easy to make. I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and they still turned out great. The filling was flavorful and had a nice kick from the chorizo. I will definitely be making these again for my next potluck.

These mini quiches were a hit at my brunch party! The combination of chorizo, poblano peppers, and cheese was delightful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again!
