Notes and Suggestions

You can use various sizes of soufflé or quiche dishes depending on whether you want to serve 2 or 4 people and whether you want to serve a light meal or first course. For a light meal or brunch, I used 2- 8 ounce soufflé dishes. For a first course, I used 4 small ceramic quiche dishes. 4 servings bake 15 minutes; 2 servings bake 23 minutes.
