Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper 1/4 cup chopped green onion (white and green parts) 3 large eggs 2 tablespoons milk 2 ounces Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (1/2 cup) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper Total time: 30 min Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 425?F. Grease one tray of 24 mini muffin-pan cups (1 3/4- x 1-inch). In a small saucepan, melt butter over moderate heat. Add bell pepper and onion; saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. 2. In a medium-size bowl, combine eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in the bell pepper and onions. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin cup. (The mixture will fill 18 to 22 cups.) 3. Bake until the centers are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the quiches cool for 1 minute. Using a knife, loosen the quiches around the edges and remove from the cups. Arrange them on a platter and serve. |
