Mini Quiches

I am sitting at my desk trying to focus on work, but it is just not happening. The weather outside isn't helping, and I am sleepy.  By the way, my hands smell like onions, and I shall tell you why.  Today at work we had a going away party for a fellow co-worker. I have only known the woman leaving for a couple weeks and honestly I am going to miss her.  She is a wonderful lady and fun to work with. I was looking forward to getting to know her more, but I will just have to wait until we meet again.

Anyways, we had a brunch party for her, so we made delicious breakfast foods (which is one of my favorite meals).  I contributed to this meal by making mini quiches, and they were amazing.  I found the recipe, and I changed it a little. If you like breakfast and/or quiches, you should try this recipe out.  I think it is a new favorite in my book.

• 1/2 of a head of broccoli, chopped
