Looking for a yummy appetizer for the holidays? Look no further; these Mini Cheddar Bacon Quiches are the perfect handheld morsels for any gathering.
A couple of years back at a Thanksgiving dinner, my husband tried quiche for the first time and loved it. They were good, but I knew they were frozen. The problem is, I have a hard time finding the yummy frozen ones throughout the year. When I do stumble across them, they seem crazy expensive. So, you can only imagine how excited I was when I found this Mini Cheddar Bacon Quiches recipe in “What’s Cookin’ at First Security Vol. 2.” I immediately knew it was a must-try.
Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
- This recipe is extremely versatile to mix it up how you like. I used ingredients that help make a recipe easier, are easy to find, and that have the most similar taste in profile.
- I used the Pillsbury mini pie crusts and regular muffin pans to save time.
- Baked the bacon ahead of time in the oven.
- We are big fans of green onions, so I replaced the leeks with green onions. This also saved me the step of cooking leeks.
- I already had heavy cream on hand, so I used half of a cup of milk and half of a cup of heavy cream in place of the half and half.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
