Mini Spinach and Cheese Quiches

These mini spinach and cheese quiches are perfect for breakfast, lunch or brunch.  They are perfect for me to bring to work since they reheat well in the microwave.  I adapted this recipe from The Domestic Mama and The Village Cook's spinach and cheese baby quiches (original recipe here).  I made my spinach and cheese quiches in muffin pans, and used fresh spinach instead of frozen.   I will definitely be making these mini spinach and cheese quiches again and I would like to add some cooked bacon next time.   I am also freezing half the mini spinach and cheese quiches to see how they hold up.  I'll update this post when I find out.
