HAM AND GREEN CHILE BITE SIZE QUICHE
Makes 3 1/2 dozen.
3/4 - 1 cup finely diced ham
3-4 tablespoons chopped canned green chiles
1/4 cup minced green onion
1 2/3 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
Pastry for a double-crust pie (homemade or purchased)
5 eggs
1 2/3 cups sour cream
Cooking Directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
On a lightly floured board, roll out the pastry dough 1/ 16-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cutter, cut out 42 circles; re-roll scraps as needed.
Fit circles into bottoms and slightly up sides of lightly greased 2 1/2-inch muffin pans.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together ham, chiles, onion and cheese and divide equally among muffin cups.
In large bowl, beat together eggs, add sour cream and stir until smooth.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon into each muffin cup.
Bake until puffed and light brown, 20-25 minutes.
Cool in pans 5 minutes; lift out.
Serve warm or let cool on wire racks.
If made ahead, wrap cooled quiches airtight, and refrigerate overnight.
Reheat, uncovered, in a 350 degrees F. oven for about 10 minutes.
Also try serving along side Bacon and Mushroom Bite Size Quiche.
