Ingredients

1 packaged pie crust pastry

Nonstick spray, for greasing muffin pans

10 slices bacon

3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

5 eggs, lightly whisked

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1 1/2 cups whipping cream

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cayenne pepper, for garnish

Directions

Special equipment:
Round cutter Mini muffin pans
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Lay the pastry out on a work surface and using a round cutter, make pastry rounds about 1/2-inch larger than the mini muffin pan holes. Lightly spray the muffin pans and put a pastry round into each hole, pressing down to form a shell. Bake for 12 minutes, then let cool.
  3. Cook the bacon in a large, preheated skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate, and allow to drain. Roughly chop the bacon, then set aside and let cool. In a large bowl, mix the bacon, cheese, eggs, onions and cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the mixture evenly into the pastry shells. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes. Using a small knife, lift the pastries out of the muffin tins to a serving platter.
  4. Garnish each quiche with a light sprinkle of cayenne pepper and serve.

I have made mini quiches like these for years and then lost the recipe. Found this one and used it to get correct amount of eggs &amp; cream. I made some changes: I use Half &amp; Half instead of cream and Swiss Cheese instead of Gruyere. You don't have to pre-bake the shells. I saute the chopped onions in a little butter until tender. Then put the crumbled bacon, cheese &amp; onions into the shells. Mix the eggs, Half &amp; Half, teaspoon or so of dry mustard and pour into the shells filling almost to the top. Bake at 350 degrees 15 to 20 minutes until puffed and crusts are lightly browned. You can also use sausage in place of bacon for a different taste. <br />
