Delicious hot, at room temperature, or cold! Make these in Pyrex ramekins with lids and they make excellent packed lunches (in an insulated bag with a cold pack).

Individual quiches are great when you have picky eaters or different special diets, because you can customize each one to suit a diner. If you have different "fillings", use parchment to line your pan and write the name of the diner on the parchment next to their quiche.
