QUICHE PASTRY CUPS



Quiche Pastry Cups image

My grandmother used to make egg cup surprises for family brunches on special occasions. The added fillings were always a surprise; she never seemed to use the same combination of ingredients twice. As children, we had a guessing game as to what we'd find in the tender crust, which added an aspect of family fun to our meal. -Denalee Standart, Rancho Mureta, California
