The mistake was trying to modify the recipe. I read the recipe. Olive
oil for quiche, crustless or not, is a mistake. It did not specify
olive oil to grease unlined muffin tin cups.

It sounds like you used paper liners like you remembered from whenever.
The cheap paper liners you can buy for kids cupcakes? Not suitable for
this recipe.
