Mini Quiche

What you need:
1 Pillsbury Refridgerated Pie Crust
6 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 small onion Diced
1 cup Cheese
A variety of Cooked Veggies Chopped (optional)
A variety of Cooked Meats Diced (optional)
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Quiche has always been a favorite of my family. It is so versitle and can be made in so many different ways. It is perfect to serve for Breakfast lunch or dinner. With Mini Quiche you are able to make several different Quiche with differnt Cheeses and Veggies.

Using a round glass or round cookie cutter, cut circles of dough out of unrolled pie crust (about 3 inches in diameter). Place Circles in non stick or greased mini Cupcake pan. Bake until slightly browned. If you do not have a mini cupcake pan use a muffin tin and make your circles bigger by rolling them after cut.

In a pan sautee the onion over medium heat in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When onions are translucent put aside. In a bowl wisk eggs and milk season with a pinch of salt and pepper. When crusts are done Fill each with onion, any vegetables or meats and top with Cheese. Ladle egg mixture to fill cup. This is a great way to involve an older toddler or child. Allow them to create their own quiche. Bake in oven at 350 until eggs are firm. Allow to sit 10 minutes before serving.

Suggested Combinations:
Gruyere Cheese, Diced Ham
American Cheese, Chedder Cheese and Swiss
Cheddar and Broccoli
Asparagus and Swiss
Diced grilled Chicken Sundried Tomatoes, Mozzerella and pepper
