Mini Swiss Cheese Quiche

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

To really make these easy purchase ready made pie pastry in the refrigerator section. You can also make these using regular size muffin tins, the servings will be less and baking time will have to be adjusted. If you make these on mini muffin tins you should get anywhere from 24-26 mini quiches. If you don't have a 2-1/2-inch round cutter then just use the top of a glass. The recipe can be doubled.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 24

• 2 prepared pie pastry (enough to cut out 25 2-1/2-inch rounds)
• 2 cups finely shredded swiss cheese
• 2 green onions , finely chopped
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup half-and-half cream (or use full-fat milk)
• 3 tablespoons canned pimientos , finely chopped (can use less)
• salt (I use about 1/4 teaspoon)
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray 24 mini muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Roll out the dough, then cut into 24-26 2-1/2-inch rounds (you might get less).
4. Press one round into the bottom and sides of each mini muffin tin.
5. Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the bottom of the crust.
6. Top with a few green onions, and then some chopped pimientos.
7. In a small bow, whisk together the eggs, half and half cream, salt, cayenne and Parmesan cheese.
8. Divide the mixture between each muffin tin to within 1/4 inch from the top.
9. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cool 3 minutes then carefully run a knife around the quiches and lift out.
11. Serve warm.

These were GREAT! I have made these twice, the 1st time as posted but with cheddar and they were way overdone so the next time I used swiss and I followed suggestions of other reviewers and mixed stuff together then filled pastry AND cut cooking time, they came out perfect! They are VERY tasty and addictive! Thank you for posting
