It is ridiculously quick to prepare the filling.  The only component that might take a little more time is to press your dough into your mini quiche pans.

Make sure not to press the crust too thick in this recipe, other wise you will be left with dry crust-like quiches and very little filling.  Use the easy and simply quiche pastry crust recipe for the crust and press into mini quiche pans.
