Quiche / Omelette: Doing Two Things at Once

I'm a Mom of two.  Multitasking or doing two things at once is a necessary Mom Skill. This afternoon's food prep included making my lunch as well as prepping some mini quiches for the kid's lunch kits. An omelette for me and tiny, little egg pies for them!

Just recently, I discovered that my children love quiche. It needs to be a simple quiche, but they LOVE IT! I have been whipping up this recipe for my little darling's lunch boxes. 

The kids pack their own lunches, daily. I find providing them with a number of homemade, healthy options, leads to better choices. I love this recipe because it tastes good at any temperature and it freezes well!

 

To save a bit of time, I bought frozen unsweetened tart shells....thank you to the "No Name" employee / machine  that rolled out my pie crust and put it into convenient little baking containers. 

 

Mini Quiches and an Omelette for a Hungry Mom

5 eggs

10 unsweetened tart shells 

1 cup of milk 

1 cup of strong cheese

2 tbsps of flour

Sea salt

Pepper

Preheat your oven to 375 F

Remove 10 tart shells from package to thaw.  

Whisk together 5 eggs and 1 cup of milk. 

Add flour and mix well. 

Shred 1 cup of strong cheese, my kids love cheddar or gouda. Mixing cheeses is never a mistake! Today I used an Old Cheddar and some Parmesan Cheese. 

Add the shredded cheese to your egg mixture along with salt and pepper. 

Fill 10 tarts. 

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. 

Melt butter in a frying pan and add the left over egg mixture to your pan, heated to medium. Cook appt 6 minutes and fold. Allow another 1-2 minutes per side. 

Voila! Omelette! 

 

By the time your omelette is consumed, the mini quiches will be ready. Allow them to cool on the counter before you refrigerate or freeze.
