Notes

You want your pie crust to be chilled or at room temperature. If the pie crust is overly warm it will be hard to cut out.
Make sure to dice your flavorings into tiny pieces to make sure they fit into the mini muffin cups.
Pre-cook any vegetables that you'll be adding to your quiche, otherwise they'll leach water if they cook in the egg mixture and make your quiche watery.
