perfect Paula Deen mini quiche

Tomorrow night I am hosting the FDC for a meeting.  Naturally that means I am providing food and drink.  I needed a few easy to make snacks.  I didn't want to buy something frozen and decided to find something yummy.  Paula Deen's mini quiche seemed like the perfect solution!

Ingredients: 
  • 12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) of melted butter 
  • 50 crushed buttery crackers (Ritz)
  • 5 slices of bacon
  • 6 stalks of chopped green onions
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Makes 24 servings

Preheat the over to 300 degrees.  Grease 2 12-cup muffin tins.

In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs and the melter butter.
 

Then divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups.
 

Brown the bacon. Then remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
 







Saute your vegetables. Crumble the bacon and add to your vegetable mixture.  Allow to cool for 5 minutes.  

 

Beat together the milk, salt, pepper, and eggs. 


 Add this to the bacon and vegetable mixture.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin evenly over the cracker crumbs, filling the cups 3/4 full.  Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. 
  
                                                  

Bake for 15 minutes or until they are set in the middle. 
                                                  

Quiche will easily pop out when baked perfectly.
