Mushroom & Arugula Quiches

Last week I introduced you to individual smoked salmon quiches. I had been inspired by the fabulous quiches I'd seen while wandering around the Sydney Harbour Bridge which had been laid with green grass and turned into a picnicker's paradise.

I have not yet finished with my quiche phase and this week I made delicious little mushroom and arugula quiches. Arugula, in New Zealand and Australia, is known as "roquette" - which is the French equivalent.

Roquette has a lovely pepperiness which contrasts nicely with the soft mushroom flavors.

Like last week's quiches, they're easy to make, quick to bake and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, snacks, appetizers or taken on picnics.
