Use spicy or mild sausages for this, I made this using small breakfast sausages with casings removed in place of the Italian sausages and added in some cayenne pepper to the sausage mixture.

MINI MUSHROOM-AND-SAUSAGE QUICHES
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Coat a nonstick muffin tin generously with cooking spray (see Tip). Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Add oil to the pan. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to the bowl with the sausage. Let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, cheese and pepper. Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk in a medium bowl. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each cup. Bake until the tops are just beginning to brown, 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Place a rack on top of the pan, flip it over and turn the quiches out onto the rack. Turn upright and let cool completely. A good-quality nonstick muffin tin works best for this recipe. If you don't have one, line a regular muffin tin with foil baking cups
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure to have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your quiche will taste. Look for mushrooms that are firm and dry, and sausages that are plump and juicy.
- Cook the Mushrooms and Sausage Thoroughly: This will help to ensure that your quiche is safe to eat and that the flavors are fully developed.
- Don't Overfill the Quiche Crusts: Otherwise, the quiche will be too thick and might not cook through properly.
- Bake the Quiche Until the Center is Set: A toothpick inserted into the center of the quiche should come out clean when it is done.
- Let the Quiche Cool Slightly Before Serving: This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart when you slice it.
Conclusion:
These mini mushroom and sausage quiches are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They're perfect for a party or potluck, or for a quick and easy meal on a busy weeknight.
