So…can we talk about Dancing With The Stars for a sec??
I have to admit that I’ve never really watched the show until this season. But when my friend Meg was in town a few weeks ago, we randomly decided to do a girls’ night in and spotted DJ Tanner (!!!) and Winnie from The Wonder Years on the preview and decided to tune in. And DJ is now a conservative mom with 4 kids! And Winnie writes girl-power books about math! And Drew Carey is, like, genuinely cool. And those Olympic ice dancers are so darn humble. And Amy Purdy’s story and dances leave me absolutely speechless each week. And I kind of think that Carrie Ann Inaba is one of the coolest judges ever.
Oh. And I basically cry every single week.
Seriously, why didn’t anyone warn me that this show is such a tearjerker?? I swear, it’s turning into my new Parenthood.
Anyway, since I’m rarely home in the evenings, this show has turned into my new Tuesday morning tradition on Hulu. Which means that said star-crushing, and crying, and cheering, and — yes — much more kitchen dance partying is happening in my kitchen while I cook breakfast. Which happened to be the case on the day that I made these adorable little spinach artichoke quiche cups. (That also happen to be gluten-free!)
They were so good that I just might have done a little flying leap across the kitchen after my first taste. ;)
I mean, let’s be real — it’s kind of impossible not to love something spinach-artichoke-y. It’s like mac and cheese. Peas and carrots. Milk and cookies.
Spinach and artichokes are just kind of made for each other. (Like, um, Merill and Maks in this week’s episode of Dancing? Hello, chemistry!!)
The good news about this spinach and artichoke quiche recipe, though, is that it literally just takes a few minutes to whip up. No crust necessary. And you can totally freeze these guys for future breakfasts on-the-go. Here’s the how to:
Actually, there’s hardly anything to say for this step. Stir everything together!!
Then portion the mixture into 12 prepared baking cups.
And bake em’ up to quichy-tasty perfection.
Unbelievably easy. And unbelievably good. Dive in!

Anything with spinach and artichoke has me hooked! I have yet to have them with eggs so I know what I am making for brunch this weekend!
Looks delicious!! Can a silicone large muffin pan be used to this? I have one by haven’t cooked with it yet. A little uncertain about using it in the oven. Thanks!
Hi Jenny,
Yes, that should work well! :)

1. I have been a DWTS fan for many seasons and I love that you are now hooked! I have actually had the opportunity to go to tapings and it’s pretty cool! Who do you think is going to win?
2. I agree that spinach and artichokes go together like milk and cookies, mac and cheese!
3. Pinning these, because they will be the perfect breakfast to make ahead of time when I know I have guests in town!
Whaaa? I’m so jealous that you were able to see it live! That’s now on my bucket list. Well, that and dancing with Derek. ;)
mini quiche were one of the first recipes I’ve ever made, so this holds a special place in my heart (stomach?). and obv spinach & artichoke will always get my attention ;)
making mini quiches was one of my first recipes in the kitchen, so I’ve got a soft spot for this one! and obviously anything with spinach & artichoke has my attention, too ;)
