We make these all the time- sometimes in regular bread loaf pans and it always turns out great.

I have always used Martha Stewarts crust recipe when I make mini quiches, there's nothing like home made :-)

Sounds great. Has anyone tried making these in standard size muffin pans? How would that effect baking time? It sure would save time not having to line all those mini muffin cups. Besides my sons are hearty eaters.

We used about 1/4 Swiss cheese and the rest mozerella and italian mix... awesome. The recipe made 48 minitures and used 2 tubes of cresent dough...thus a 4 star instead of 5.

I made these for a Pampered Chef Fund Raiser party & they were well received! Already have been asked to share the recipe twice! They are delicious! I only used one can of crescent rolls. Lynette H.

I made this recipe as directed and boy, did I like it. It was easy and delish. I'm sure variations of this recipe would be just as good. The crescent roll crust make's preparation a breeze.

I thought about the recipe before making these and and others I have eaten in the past and decided to make different types using this resipe. I made this type and also minced ham and brocolli with sharp cheddar, and a vegan one using minced red pepers, brocolli and cauliflower and one using regular ground sausage. I wanted to see which would turn out best so I could make them for a birthday party for my Sister-in-law turning 77 next weekend. They were all great so since there will be about 40 people I'll just make all four. I'm going to make them ahead and freeze them in gallon size freezer bags seperated by wax paper. should work and they will only be frozen for a few days. I should be able to thaw them in the fridge and re-heat in the oven on a baking sheet. The frozen ones I buy work out well and sometimes I just put them in the oven directly from the freezer without thawing. I tracked the cost and found they cost about a third to make versus buying already made. Gonna try gruyere cheese next time also.

Why does anyone rate a recipe when they have not even tried it? These are delish, but I would appreciate it if you didn't make it = don't rate it! Thank you.
