Preparing the pastry before 'baking blind'. I don't have any pastry weights so made do with dry black eyed beans from the pantry.  I also just use pre-made sheets of short crust pastry rather than making pastry from scratch:

Adding the ingredients (these included the eggs, milk, fried onions, garlic and greens as well as salami, fresh flat leaf parsley, cheese, pepper, sliced and blotted tomato - I usually just put in whatever I have around at the time so more like pot luck than quiche):

My daughter was so proud!

From one dozen eggs, we made two large quiches like this one as well as a few small ones without pastry which we cooked in the non-stick muffin tray.  I am taking one large one and the small ones into work for morning tea on Wednesday.  The small, pastry-less ones will be for a colleague who is gluten intolerant.  I hope to take a photo for my daughter of my colleagues enjoying her cooking.
