A colorful, delicious treat for breakfast, these crustless quiche muffins can be made ahead of time, frozen and then microwaved to be enjoyed on those mornings when “the most important meal of the day” doesn’t seem to be an possibility. (Herald Photo by Lisa Pesavento)

Why, does it seem, that mornings are so rushed?  Is it because we don’t allow enough time, because we want to grab those extra few minutes of sleep?

Or, if you are like my husband, you need to fit in time to go to the gym before work.

There are so many reasons and excuses we can come up with.

With less time in the morning, there is no possible way that breakfast can be the most important meal of the day. 

Prepare these delicious Crustless Quiche Muffins and you will have breakfast ready every morning in no time.

Take the time to bake this one day and you can just warm them up in the microwave the next morning.
Just freeze what you don’t want to eat right away. Take out the amount you want the night before you want to eat them. Let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight and just microwave in the morning. Quick and delicious.

Ham is delicious in this recipe, but bacon is also good. Any meat you would use in a breakfast casserole would be good in these muffins. Make certain that whatever meat you choose is cut into a small dice.

I like to use asparagus in this recipe, but you can easily substitute another vegetable if you like.

I like a lot of color in this quiche so I usually buy one red, one orange, and one yellow pepper. I take one-third of each to put in this quiche. I take the leftover and divide into 2 bags and freeze for the next time I want to make these quiches.

I love the taste of mushrooms, so I use the baby bella mushrooms, but any mushrooms can be used. The white mushrooms have a tendency to cook down and become softer. If you want the taste and consistency of a firm mushrooms, use the baby bellas.

The recipe calls for heavy cream. I have to admit that I have used half and half and it has turned out just as good and maybe not as high in calories. Your choice.

This is a good recipe to use some of that leftover ham from Easter. I usually take some of my ham and freeze anyway, so I just dice it before I put it in the freezer.
