Directions
What makes this quiche toddler friendly you ask? It’s the veggie – egg – crust ratio. They contain just the right amount of sweet caramelized onions, a flavourful hit of mushrooms and a flaky, soft crust in every mouthful for them to enjoy without cringing. These are the perfect nutritious breakfast, freezer friendly dinner, or a filling school lunchbox snack.
I love making finger foods for my kid, it’s not as messy and is easy to pack on the go. Quick, simple and delicious!
This recipe is pretty straightforward; it makes approximately 20 quiches depending on the piecrust. I have shared with you my savoury pie crust recipe, but feel free to use premade pie crust.
In this recipe I topped some of the quiches with feta cheese after baking. You can improvise here and add any type of cheese into the mixture before baking.
