1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray insides of Texas (jumbo) muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray. Unroll both pie crusts and slice each into quarters so that you have 8 pieces of dough. Press each piece into one muffin cup. (Note: This recipe yields 8 quiches. Use an 8-cup pan if you have it, or divide the batch between two 6-cup jumbo muffin pans, like we did.)
2

Place a slice or two of Canadian bacon or ham in the center of each crust. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream until well combined. Stir in cheddar, red pepper, spinach, onion and garlic.
3

Spoon mixture into muffin cups. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the centers are set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
