Wow-Your-Friends-at-the-Holiday-Brunch quiche

It's that time of year where we get invited to countless Christmas brunches, parties, and shindigs. And every time, we go through the, WHAT DO I BRING TO THIS THING dilemma.  Take this easy quiche recipe and morph it into a fabulous take along.

Ingredients:
1 package of Pilsbury pie crusts; thawed - the kind in the tins in the freezer section; there are 2 per package
4 large  eggs
1/2 mayonnaise or sour cream
1/2 whole milk
1 cup cheese - get creative with it! Gruyere and cheddar are good choices, but swiss or parmesan can also be brought into the mix
1  cup cooked bacon or chopped ham
1 cup cooked veggies - I like asparagus or spinach, but you can do onions, broccoli, or red peppers too; DRAIN THEM WELL

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Pre bake both pie shells for about 15 minutes to keep them from being gooey.  While the pie crusts bake, place all four eggs, mayonnaise or sour cream, milk, and cheese into the blender.  Blitz until just blended. Remove the pie crusts from the oven and raise the temp to 400.  Evenly divide bacon/ham and veggies evenly between the two pie shells and then evenly divide the egg mixture over the veggies.  Gently wrap the edges of your quiches with a strip of foil to keep the crust edges from burning and place into a 400 degree oven.  Bake them for 25-30 minutes or until the middles are set.  Cool for about 15 minutes and serve!
