We are all in the mood for celebrating Mom this week!
After working on our Strawberries & Cream Scones as well as launching our Gift Basket Giveaway (there’s still time to enter…click HERE) we’ve been brainstorming ways to give the gift of good food to Mom in a way that can include kid participation.
If you’re worried that little hands in the kitchen (or mixing bowl) might be tough, think again! Here’s a recipe for Mix & Match Quiches that you’ll love. Making the batter is easy (it’s a biscuit dough on the bottom with quiche -egg mixture- on top). Have as many add-on’s as you’d like and the kids can each put their own personal touch on these delightful little mini quiches.

Make ’em in advance and reheat them in the oven at 350 F for 15 minutes for a perfect Mother’s Day Brunch that pairs nicely with our Strawberries & Cream Scones and that cold brew coffee (or white wine) from our Gift Basket!

Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350 F.
- Make the biscuit dough by whisking together wet ingredients + salt.
- Add baking powder and whisk to combine (there will be some lumps).
- Switch out your whisk for a spatula, and add 2 cups flour. Mix vigorously to combine, then add more flour as needed to create a semi-stiff dough that keeps its shape when rolled into a ball.
- Oil a muffin or popover tin, and add a small teaspoonful of biscuit dough to each mold.
- Lightly water your fingertips and push down dough to flatten.
- Using the same whisk, beat eggs for the quiche topper in a large bowl until yolks are broken and whites and yolks are combined.
- Add milk, salt and pepper and continue to mix.
- Pour mixture over biscuit dough base in your muffin tin, filling molds about halfway up.
- Next, add your toppers, using the guide below for suggested flavorings. *Make sure your molds aren't too full, as the eggs + biscuits will rise in the oven.
- To bake, place muffin or popover tin on a baking sheet (to catch any spillover) and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until quiches are puffed and stiff when pushed.
- Remove, let rest 10 minutes, then use the back of a knife (the non sharp side) to loosen quiches from their molds and tip tin to invert.
- Arrange on a plate and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Please note that the *'d ingredients represent the same recipe for the Strawberries & Cream Scones, minus the sugar. So you can always make a double batch without the sugar, the divide and add the sugar for the scones to one half of the dough! Go on, make things easy for yourself!
