24 mini quiches

Ingredients

1 15-ounce package rolled refrigerated unbaked pie crust (2 crusts)
2 eggs
⅔ cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ cup finely chopped green onion (optional)
¼ - ½ cup finely grated or crumbled cheese of your choice
½ - 1 cup finely chopped or crumbled cooked vegetable or meat of your choice (such as bacon, ham, sausage, shrimp, spinach, broccoli or red sweet pepper)

Directions

Let piecrust stand according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large glass measuring cup or medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and, if desired, finely chopped green onion. (A measuring cup will make it easier to pour filling into the pastry shells.)
Unroll pie crust. Using a 2 1/2- or 3-inch round cutter, cut circles from pie crust and place in ungreased 1 3/4-inch muffin cups. (You should have about 24 circles.)
Put a pinch of cheese and meat or vegetable in each pastry shell. Pour egg mixture over filling, being careful not to overfill.
Bake in a 425°F oven for 13 to 15 minutes or until filling is puffed and pastry is golden. Remove from oven. Cool in pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove to a wire rack. Serve warm.

You can prepare all the ingredients the night before for easy prep in the morning. Store the egg mixture, covered, in the glass measuring cup. Cut the pastry circles and place them in the muffin cups; cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill. In the morning, assemble the quiche while the oven preheats.
