Food Network watch out

I have mishaps in achieving excellent domesticity. What was that you just said? What on earth did you just say.

Translation: I'm not always great at doing Wife/Mom things. Case in Point. Cooking Disaster Umpteen.

Mini onion and cheese quiches with NO pie crust.

Ugh cripes. Every damn time I think I'll get creative, shit gets real nasty real fast. So, I had made these chese and onion quiches before and they turned out flavorless because I had all pie crust and not much egg and onion and cheese. Suffice it to say, I substituted many of the ingredients for things I had. Gruyere: nope, substitute mozzarella. Heavy Cream:Nope, substitute fat free half and half. Pie crust: Nope, substitute bisquick. When I follow the recipe exactly, well, I still only follow it halfway. You can imagine how things turn out when I "wing" it. The first cheese and onion quiches would barely come out of the muffin tin so I thought *cupcake cups* would solve this problem.

So, I bought cupcake liners in the hopes that sometime within the next six months I might need them. Cue a few weeks ago. I have all the ingredients for cheese and onion quiche. I whip up a batch and put in paper cups and forego the pastry crust all-together. This way I get more egg and more cheese!!!! Yay Cheese!!!

I don't have enough mixture to fill all the cups so I make some more and fill them up 3/4 of the way. Which I assume will be just enough, and do not at all assume this will be way to damn much.

I cook it, they smell wonderful. I pull them out of the oven, and they are all overflowing but I'm so damn hungry I don't care. Then I let them cool and they deflate. The implode in on themselves bringing their paper cupcake liner with them. I can barely get half of the quiche off of the paper. And when I eat it, expecting  glorious rapture, I get yellow oniony sponge.

HALLELUJAH.

THIS IS WHY I EAT SANDWICHES AND CHICKEN NUGGETS FOR 75% OF ALL MY MEALS.
