MINI QUICHES WITH PHYLLO DOUGH CRUST

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 325F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with heavy cream and dash of salt and pepper. Add the chopped cooked sausage, green onions, and cheddar cheese and mix well.
• On a clean surface or cutting board, lay out a sheet of phyllo dough and brush the top with oil. Add 3 more phyllo sheets and brush with oil after each one.
• Use your knife or pizza cutter to cut the stack of phyllo dough into four equal squares. Gently press each square stack of phyllo dough into a muffin pan.
• Continue working with the rest of phyllo dough until all mini/muffin molds are lined with phyllo sheets.
• Pour the egg mixture into the phyllo dough molds, taking care to distribute the sausage and cheese mixture evenly between each quiche.
• Bake at 325F until the eggs are set and puff up a little, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minute and serve warm.

MINI PHYLLO QUICHE CUPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven or toaster oven to 385°F.
• Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and group the cups very close together so they don't fan out into fillo discs as they cook. I use a small baking sheet when I'm only making a few and a large one when we're making these for a family brunch!
• Use cooked veggies if you prefer them soft, or grab your favorite raw veggies if you like the crunch. I usually have a boatload of leftovers in my fridge so I love using them up in these little breakfast bites! I consider it foodie upcycling, hah!
• Whisk together your egg and half and half [see below for subsitutions] very well and set aside. I use a little hand-cranked mixer on mine but you can do this by hand as well. Whisking til frothy will help this pour the easiest for ya!
• Line the bottom of each fillo cup with your mix-ins then use a spouted measuring cup to pour the egg into each cup. For sure grab a spouted measuring cup to do your pouring, it'll help control how much egg goes into each phyllo cup!
• Top with cheese and your favorite toppings.
• Bake on the center rack for 10-11 minutes.

MINI SWISS QUICHES

• Place 1 tablespoons cheese in each cup, top each with a few onion slices and crumbled bacon. In a 2-cup measuring cup; combine eggs, milk, salt and nutmeg; beat well with fork. Pour mixture into crusts; filling to within 1/4 inch of top.
