This is what you get when you mate a quiche with a frittata.

An egg dish baked in muffin pan that I think you'll love!

You don't need perfection. This is suppose to be easy with several options.

SLICE biscuit a little thinner than a regular bread slice and place in each cup to form a loose liner
SAUTE onion and peppers in olive oil - yield should be about 6 tbsp. cooked
spread about 1 tbsp into each cup.

BEAT beat well the following, then pour evenly into cups

Refrigerate leftovers, reheat in microwave for about 1 minute.


* You can switch ingredients for what you have, or like:
Sausage, bacon or ham
Spinach or broccoli
For bread, use what you have: dinner rolls, buns or just good old regular bread - They'll slice easily if a kept in the fridge.
If you have no muffin pan, a cake or pie pan will do. Just add enough time to baking so middle is done and doesn't run when you slice it - about 15 min more.
