I love serving up quiche.  They are a great way to use up leftovers or those little odds and ends that you find in your refrigerator.  These mini quiches were made with some leftover broccoli that I had but you can just microwave a little broccoli or use part of a package of frozen, thawed broccoli if you don't have leftovers.

I use a crust for my large, full size quiche but when making these baby, bite size goodies, I find it is easiest to go crustless.  This also makes them perfect for any of your family/friends who are gluten intolerant.

Brunch Week is, as the name suggests, a week long event.  I will be back tomorrow and Wednesday with some more fun recipes for you.  On Thursday and Friday you will be able to find the others by searching #BrunchWeek on social media.
