vegetables and cheese mini quiches

I love this little Pia Fendrik cook book  (an argentinian chef) and I made some recipes of her in my blog.
Are exactly simple and especially  is to cook for one or two persons.
That is all of the things some of you asked me because I know many people live alone and love cooking to themselves.
These mini quiches are delicious simples and healthy.
And you can freeze the dough and have to filling with other food you like (seafood or meat or you like)

Me encantan estos libros pequeños de Pia Fendrik (chef argentina que ya he hecho recetas) sé al tiro cuando me gusta alguna receta antes de hacerla por las instrucciones claras precisas.
Y este libro especialmente es bueno porque son recetas especiales para los que cocinan para una dos personas y les gusta hacerlo.
Muchas veces las porciones de las recetas son para mas personas.
En todo caso hay que pensar que cualquier receta se puede reducir a la mitad y no hay problema.
Estos quiches son muy buenos sobre todo que la masa hecha por uno es incomparable con la que se puede comprar ( y eso que encuentro buena la de las empanadas) pero es distinto.
