Am I a bad mommy if I don't feed my children breakfast?
Now.. I'm not saying they don't eat breakfast. I just don't prepare it for them.
Honestly, I've never been much of a morning person and, with safety in mind, I strive to avoid sharp knives, gas stoves, and electric mixers before 10am.
Luckily, my boys have a father who IS a morning person AND loves to dote on them endlessly. With Dad at the helm, it's Denver omelets, French toast, and Belgium waffles (with whipped cream no less). Sadly, on the days that he leaves early for work, my boys know that their options are limited to cold cereal or cold cereal.
Or perhaps I should say: that WAS their only option...

Enter: this nifty little mini breakfast quiche recipe that I uncovered. (Sadly, I'm not sure of its original source. The printed, wrinkled, typed-page was gathered among a pile of other recipes.) I made a batch of these babies and have been able to pop them out of the freezer and into the microwave for 60 seconds as needed to supply fast, delicious, and safe breakfast-dining.

"See, I'm not so bad," I tell my boys. "This is good. We're being healthy, right? Bon Appetit!"
These quiche are a great early-morning option. My boys smile. My boys eat. (But in truth, they still miss their dad. I can live with that. On the rare days he leaves early, I miss him too.)
