Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups Recipe
Every Sunday morning in my house I make brunch. It can vary from scrambled eggs and pancakes to omelets and yogurt parfaits. My menu usually includes amazing maple turkey and applewood smoked bacon from the Amish Market. Sometimes I get in the mood to be creative and make a new recipe to spice things up. This past Sunday, I decided to put a spin on a traditional quiche and make quiche cups in a cupcake pan lined with flour tortillas. They came out delicious — the tortilla became crispy and brown and the eggs and cheese melded together in total harmony. The beauty of this incredible breakfast delight is that I didn’t need to use a fork — it can be picked up and enjoyed without any mess. The leftovers heated up very well for a yummy Monday breakfast. These would also be great to serve at a party or a special brunch.
