Mini Quiche

With a mini muffin pan and a box of piecrust mix, you can make your own bite-size quiche crusts for these Mini Quiches. Homemade crusts cost just a fraction of the price of refrigerated pie pastry.

Ingredients

2 (15-ounce) packages refrigerated pie pastries

1 Tbsp butter or margarine

2 red bell peppers, minced

3 eggs

1 1/2 cup half-and-half

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease mini muffin pans. Cut rounds from pastries with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Press crusts into prepared muffin pans.

2. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Combine eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Beat with a fork until well combined. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon bell pepper into each crust. Top with egg mixture.

4. Bake quiches until set, about 12 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then remove from muffin pans.
