Muffin quiche

For some European flavors, incorporate some quiche in your menu.

Aren't these little quiches simply too cute to resist biting into?

Tortilla pizza

Pizza isn't the healthiest but sometimes we just need to treat ourselves, especially during a long, busy day. Opt for a tortilla pizza instead. All you have to do is substitute the traditional pizza dough with a tortilla and top it up with your favorite ingredients. A few minutes on a pan will achieve the perfect results.
