Bacon & Broccoli Mini Quiches

Thanks to Disney Publishing for sponsoring today's post. All opinions are my own. 

Do you have a kiddo that just loves to read? We do! Both of our boys love “reading” or having books read to them. This week we're sharing a new book we had a chance to check out from Disney Publishing, Mother Bruce.

The boys absolutely loved following along with the craziness of Bruce's story!

Bruce the bear likes to keep to himself. That, and eat eggs. But when his hard-boiled goose eggs turn out to be real, live goslings, he starts to lose his appetite. And even worse, the goslings are convinced he’s their mother. Bruce tries to get the geese to go south, but he can’t seem to rid himself of his new companions.

Charlie thought the book was absolutely hilarious! Learn more about Mother Bruce.

In honor of Bruce's love of eggs, we made Bacon & Broccoli Mini Quiches! If you have a picky eater or one that doesn't eat eggs often, these will be a nice change of pace.

And of course, Charlie helped me put these together! Between cutting out the pie crust, adding ingredients, and mixing and pouring the eggs, there is plenty for you Mini Chef to do!
