Mini Quiche Variation (Aveline)

Take your favorite recipe for quiche filling and turn it into an appetizer for your family or breakfast for your toddler! The biscuit rounds are a good size, just peel into 2 or 3 layers each & fill with the mixture of your choice. Can be made ahead (and even frozen), then reheated on a baking sheet in the oven…microwaving not recommended.

Ingredients:
Refrigerated butter flake biscuits (Pillsbury) that separate into layers.

Filling for Quiche (can use this or any recipe):
4 slices bacon
1/4 c Finely chopped onion
1 1/2 c Shredded cheddar cheese
4 Eggs slightly beaten
1 1/3 c Milk
3/4 t Salt
1/2 t Dry mustard
1/8 t White pepper
1/8 t Ground nutmeg


Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease/spray mini muffin tins & line each with a layer of biscuit dough.

Combine filling ingredients OR combine egg/milk/seasoning ingredients only.
Place small amounts of cheese, bacon, veggies, etc. on each quiche crust and top with liquid ingredients. OR, pour all combined ingredients into each quiche crust.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Ham and Cheese Mini-Frittatas (alicianrj)(From Rachel Ray)
Note: You must use 2 mini-muffin tines with 2-inch cups to make these easy party bites. Most hold 12 muffins per tin, some hold 24. This recipe will make 24.

¼ pound deli sliced Swiss cheese, finely chopped
6 slices Canadian bacon, finely chopped
3 tablespoons snipped or chopped chives
A few grinds of black pepper
8 eggs or 1 pint of egg beaters
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix together the chopped cheese, Canadian bacon, and chives. Season with black pepper. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Brush the muffin tins with melted butter. Using a teaspoon fill the 24 mini-muffin cups halfway with the cheese mixture. Using a ladle, fill the cups to just below the edge with the beaten eggs.

Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Remove and let cool to handle. Then arrange the egg bites onto a plate and serve.

1 teaspoon grand marnier or orange liqueur
¼ teaspoon salt
