Mornings are hectic in this house. As a busy homesteading mom, mornings are jam packed with breakfasts, laundry, chickens and trying to get kids ready for the day. A lot happens before 7am!
I set myself up for success in the morning by planning ahead so I don’t have to think about what to make for breakfast.
I prefer to ease into my day with a strong cup of coffee but within minutes of hearing children’s feet hit the floor, it is a whirlwind of “What’s for breakfast?” and “Can I have a snack?”
So, to set us up for a peaceful start, I always have many breakfast options ready to go for the flurry of grumbling stomachs that faces me every morning.

How to Make Mini Quiches
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and roll out your pie crust to 1/8″ thick.
Use a large cookie cutter to cut out discs that are roughly 6″ in diameter.
Next, grease your muffin tray using butter or your preferred oil. You can line the wells of the muffin tray with parchment paper or even with cupcake liners. I choose put my pie crust directly into the wells.
Use a whisk to beat together the eggs, add in the cream and cheese.
Spoon 1/4 cup of the egg and cheese mixture into the mini pie crusts.
Place the muffin tray into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Finally, remove the mini quiches from the oven and serve them hot.
