Ingredients

  • 1 14.1 ounce pkg. (2 crusts) rolled refrigerated unbaked piecrust

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • cup milk

  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onions (optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ - 1 cup desired finely chopped or crumbled cooked meat and/or vegetable, such as bacon, ham, sausage, shrimp, spinach, broccoli, or red sweet pepper

  • ¼ - ½ cup desired finely shredded or crumbled cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Let piecrust stand according to package directions.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large glass measuring cup or medium bowl combine next five ingredients (through black pepper). (A measuring cup will make it easier to pour filling into pastry shells.)

  3. Unroll piecrust. Using a 2 1/2- or 3-inch round cutter, cut out pastry. Press pastry circles onto bottoms and up sides of twenty-four 1 3/4-inch muffin cups. Place a pinch of meat and/or vegetable and cheese into each pastry shell. Pour egg mixture over filling.

  4. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until filling is puffed and pastry is golden. Cool in muffin cups 2 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.

To Make Ahead

Prepare egg mixture and press pastry circles into muffin cups as directed. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill 2 to 24 hours. To serve, assemble quiches and bake as directed.

To Freeze

Remove quiches and cool completely. Place in a single layer in a freezer container and freeze up to 1 month. To serve, let quiches stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer quiches to a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until heated through.
