Mini quiches

These were made for my thesis defense because it was at 10:30 in the morning and these are breakfast-like, plus I had all the ingredients already on hand. And they turned out amazing!!! The best part is, the dough is super easy and cheap, and you can fill them with just about anything.

Dough (makes about 4 dozen):
3 1/3 cup Bisquick
2/3 cup butter or margarine
6 tbsp boiling water

Fillling (fills about 4 dozen):
Crab
1 can crab meat
1/2 block cream cheese
Lemon pepper seasoning

Vegetarian
4 cups shredded zucchini and squash
1 bag shredded mixed cheese
Nature's seasoning

Custard (makes >12 dozen):
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk or half and half
sprinkle of nutmeg


Step 1: Mix the Bisquick and butter together. Add the boiling water and mix well. Roll 1 tsp. dough into a ball and place in a mini cupcake pan. Even out the bottom using a wooden tamper or a shot glass.

 Step 2: Mix the custard well. Mix whatever fillings you are going to use. Add about 1 tsp to the dough. Then add 1 tsp of the custard on top. If it covers the top of the dough, it's fine. But be sure to use a VERY tiny amount, because if you put too much dough or custard in, they will explode.

Step 3: Add cheese and/or seasonings on top, bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

Step 4: Let them cool before popping them out of the muffin pans with a butter knife. Then enjoy! They are good to warm up the next day, or even at room temperature. These flew off the trays! I will absolutely be using this recipe again, and getting creative with the fillings in the future.
