Mini Quiche with a Grape-Nuts Crust

Now that my son is in the midst of his oh so terrible threes, providing healthy meals and snacks that he’ll actually eat has become quite the challenge.  Case in point – we had a nice little breakdown yesterday because we offered a ham sandwich for lunch instead of his usual peanut butter fare.  Do kids outgrow this?  I hope so.  My husband and I both love to eat good foods, and seeing our little guy want nothing but starch and peanut butter makes me sad and a little concerned in a slightly paranoid parent kind of way.

But, there’s one meal that we can almost get through without incident, and that’s breakfast! He loves his Grape-Nuts!  He loves it crunchy as well as milk-soaked, so now it was up to me to figure out how to incorporate his favorite cereal into a healthy meal or snack option.  So, one day, I bundled up LM and headed out to get some fresh air and some Post Grape-Nuts from our local Walgreens. (Find me on Instagram!)

When the boys came home from work/school that day, the big boy and the little boy both got a mini quiche with a Grape-Nuts crust.  The big boy devoured it in 3 bites.  The little boy took longer, but enjoyed it enough that I checked off the “got some nutrition in him today” box in my head.  It’s the little victories, ok?

Now, I don’t know if I can truly call this a quiche, since I think a true quiche is filled with more of an egg custard, but I like just having an egg-y omelette-y one pot wonder in a crust.  Does that make it a one-crust wonder?  And if it’s a mini quiche, is it now a one-handful wonder?  I digress.  Anyways, this recipe is pretty simple and you can fill the crust with just about any combination of ingredients that you want.  I happened to have ham and onion and cheddar cheese on hand, so that’s what I used.  If you have spinach or green onions or peppers, that’ll work too!

I know I sort of made up this recipe, but it really works and was really tasty.  Out of the 11 mini quiches that were made, I think only 2 made it to the next day.  Yup, we’re a family of eaters.

You can serve these hot or at room temperature which would make it perfect for an Easter brunch because who wants to be standing over the stove frying up eggs while everyone else enjoys a mimosa, right?  And now that the the days are getting longer, I want dinner to be easy and uncomplicated, preferably made ahead of time, so we can eat and then head out for a walk before it gets dark.  Oooh, just thinking of Spring makes me so eager for some warm temps!

If you’d like to make your own for Easter, for breakfast, or (if you’re like me) for dinner, Post cereals will be on sale at Walgreens for $1.99 from March 30 thru April 5 while supplies last.
