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.

And so, you hit the Google, hunting for something quick and easy. But also elegant. And also creative. And also sooo very Pinteresty. And also, amazing. But also, quick and easy? (Hi, you.
