Gluten Free Ham & Cheese Quiche Bites created by Tinkerbell

These delicious mini-quiches are both satisfyingly sweet and savory. Fresh earthy spices and savory Colby-Jack cheese are perfectly balanced with the crust made from Pamela's Gluten Free Pecan Shortbread cookies. This recipe is easily doubled to make 36-40 mini quiches or one 9-inch pie (***see baking notes at bottom of recipe for whole pie.).

Thanks to Pic A Chef I picked this recipe to try. This is one recipe we were so surprised with. This recipe came out so good. Loved it! I chose to use one round pan instead of individuals ones. This is a recipe we will be making again.
