Bite-Size Crustless Quiches by jeanndan
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onion (white and green parts)
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 ounces Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (1/2 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Grease mini muffin-pan cups (1 3/4- x
1-inch).
In a small saucepan, melt butter over moderate heat. Add bell pepper
and onion; saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and let mixture cool slightly.
In a medium-size bowl, combine eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.
Stir in bell pepper and onions.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of mixture into each muffin cup. (
The mixture will fill 18 to 22 cups.)
Bake until centers are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let quiches cool for
1 minute.
Using a knife, loosen quiches around edges and remove from cups.
Arrange on a platter and serve.
