This delicious dressing is made from mirliton (chayote) squash, a vegetable. In Louisiana, especially during the holidays, it is highly well-liked.

I feel like I put too much onion in and if your onions vary juicy, it makes the quiche a little watery
This doesn’t need the cream – it just adds calories and dilutes the taste. These are basically mini frittatas, which are always a great way to use up all those odds and ends in the fridge. Scallions and a favourite herb are good way to perk up the flavour. Left over ones microwave well too.
I thought it was good-not ‘great’. I will not be making it again. Maybe it would be better with the alternative bacon or sausage-or maybe both. 🙂
1.14.22 The consistency/texture is unlike that of a quiche, very light and almost airy (hope that makes sense). A 1 tablespoon cookie scoop worked perfectly for portioning the batter into the mini muffin tin cups. They will puff up and then deflate coming out of the oven, sort of like a souffle. Doesn’t affect the flavor, but don’t be surprised when that happens. These were good, but I only wish the consistency was firmer/denser/eggy-r, more like a quiche. Lovely presentation when served with raspberry orange wedges for breakfast. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
