With many Christmas treats hanging around the house this year, Matt and I knew we wanted to inject some protein into our breakfast to get the day started off right. We made these adorable and tasty mini crustless spinach quiches that really hit the spot!
The original recipe called for Muenster cheese, but we had some cheddar in the fridge that needed to be used, and that worked just as well. Depending on your tastes, you can use any type of cheese that has a good "bite" to it. This recipe is easy to modify! You can bake them into a single 9-inch pie dish and cut them into slices to serve, or you can do what we did and use cute individual ramekins.

What did you eat for Christmas breakfast this year? Leave a comment and let me know!
That's actually not really unhealthy (esp. if you used low-fat cheese) and looks super easy!!! This may be going on the rotation for weekend breakfast.
