Jeannie's Little Quiches

I got this recipe from my sister a long time ago. I used to make them all the time. I'd make a double batch and freeze half. Then I could just bake a couple for snacks if I wanted. I recently rediscovered it. They are so super easy, I have no idea why I stopped making them!

I decided they would be easy for a holiday buffet table and made them for a small gathering before Christmas.



Jeannie's Little Quiches
2 pie crusts
2 tbls butter melted

1 cup half & half
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

fillings (or any you like)

1/2 10oz pkg broccoli chopped
1/4 lb swiss shredded
velveeta - cut into very small cubes
diced ham or shredded ham slices from the deli

or

1/2 10oz frozen spinach
1/4 lb gryuere shredded

or

green chilis
Jack or colby cheese shredded

Preheat oven to 400F
Using a 3 inch round cookie cutter (or a large glass or jar) cut circles out of pie crusts.
Line greased muffin tins with 3 inch dough circles, brush with melted butter and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While they are in the fridge, mix half & half, eggs, salt and pepper. Set aside. Chop fillings.
Remove muffin trays from fridge, add fillings to cups and add one TBLS egg mixture to each cup.
Bake 400 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
Or if you like to finish baking them later, bake 15 minutes... allow to cool, refrigerate or freeze and finish baking when ready to use.

Ok... I didn't use a round one... I like my flower cutter =)





Brush them butter... then into the fridge!


Prep your fillings


Now add your fillings to the dough cups








Now add a tablespoon of the egg mixture to each cup.


Bake at 400F for 20 - 25 minutes.


Enjoy!
