Hi Stephanie! I made your little quiches tonight-they’re wonderful! I sautéed the diced potatoes in the bacon grease instead of olive oil (my son loves the flavor of bacon on EVERYTHING! 😄) and used sun dried tomatoes to cut down on the liquid. They were so good! Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Ruth! I’m SO glad you enjoyed the muffin tin quiche! Your adaptations sound delicious!! Thank you so much for trying the recipe and letting me know. Have a great week.
