Ingredients

3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup chopped green onion with tops
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grated Swiss cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Combine cracker crumbs and melted butter. Divide crumbs among mini muffin tins that have been sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray. Saute onion for 10 minutes in 2 tablespoons butter. Cool, then divide evenly on top of cracker crumbs. Beat eggs; add milk, salt, pepper, and Swiss cheese. Pour by spoonfuls on top of onions in tins. Do not fill to top, as they will run over. Bake until set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not over bake. May be stored in refrigerator or freezer. Warm in oven before serving.

Vile!!! Simply vile!!!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was looking for a New Year's Eve type thingy to bring to a family party and thought this would be great. Thank God I tried... it out before New Year's Eve. The saltine base was way too soggy, salty and off putting. UGH!!!. Read more

Best Mini Quiches!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made these so many times for many different occassions. They transport well and reheat without drying out. Always a... hit with any type of crowd! I add the cheese on top of the onion mixture before I spoon the egg mixture overtop. I find it a little easier and quicker to put together. I bought a second mini muffin pan so I can make more of them at once. Otherwise, people were lined up at the oven waiting for the next batch.Read more

No Leftovers !!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made up one batch of these delights (& hopefully a bit healthier than standard custard recipes). Should have doubled or... triple batch as the end result was zero on the plate. Everyone wants the recipe now, but I plan to make a couple tweeks. I used a bit more than 1 cup of grn onion/shallot combo only because my shallot was large and I love them. Next time I will cook the onions in only 2 tbls of butter, I think the 4 it calls for is what makes them oily as other cooks have mentioned. I took someones advice and LAYERED the ingredients. I kept my cheese combo of swiss & x-tra sharp cheddar separate. I hit the beaten eggs with pepper ONLY and a pinch of Herbes de Provonce. With the salt in the cheddar & the crackers, I left out Paula's salt entries. I also used a combo of Ritz & a Swiss Hearty Grain flat cracker to make 1 cup. I pressed the crumbs into the mini muffin pan and by spraying pan ahead, that makes up for cutting down on the butter in the recipe too. Next batch will be less oily but still delicious. I have egg/milk mixture leftover following the recipe as posted.Read more
