Quiche Lorraine cups are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These individual quiches are made with a flaky pastry crust filled with a rich and savory egg custard, bacon, and cheese. The quiche is then baked until golden brown and puffed, creating a crispy crust and a tender, fluffy interior. This recipe includes two variations: a classic Quiche Lorraine with bacon and Gruyère cheese, and a vegetarian Quiche Florentine with spinach, mushrooms, and goat cheese. Both quiches are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Serve them warm or at room temperature, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality puff pastry or shortcrust pastry for the quiche cups. This will ensure that the cups are light, flaky, and buttery.
- Don't overfill the quiche cups. The filling should come about 2/3 of the way up the sides of the cups.
- Bake the quiche cups at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the pastry and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes and continue to bake the quiche cups until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
- Let the quiche cups cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.
