These Vegetable Quiche Cups with Goat Cheese are so versatile and perfect for your next brunch! They are created with an easy crescent roll crust with copious amounts of fresh collard greens, mushrooms, and zucchini. These veggies are just made for each other with this eggy goodness. You will want to make this dish for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
I have been wanting to post quiche cups for a long time and debated over the crust, veggies and cheese mixtures. I have been making regular quiches for a long time with spinach and decided it was time to mix things up a bit. I recently discovered a love for collard greens (I guess they were hiding from me in the south somewhere…LOL)! Anyway, they are spectacular when sautéed with a bit of garlic and olive oil and are great accompaniment for a variety of dishes.
These Quiche Cups are so versatile, making it easy to use this recipe as your base with your favorite vegetable combination. Just be sure to give it a good smothering of goat cheese and you are guaranteed to be a happy egg eater. Unless of course, you are a picky toddler and refuse anything that is green in appearance. Hmmm…maybe I should try making my kids vegetable pancakes. Perhaps the syrup flavor will cancel out any hidden vegetable flavors. Furthermore, said vegetables will need to be a minced consistency to avoid any hidden dangers of visual identification. Very tricky indeed! 😉
Well, while I continue to pontificate with myself regarding the hidden dangers of cooking for toddlers…check out my quiche with spinach.
