These were wonderful but a little too spicy for my 7 year old. Will do regular sausage or half and half next time!

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.

I snagged me a very handsome,single man with these cups but I had a recipe that included pesto and diced tomato.He fell over for these-and me.

I think they would freeze fine.

MinniesMum - when you remove the casings from the sausage it crumbles like ground beef.  If you were to use a sausage that didn't do that...you'd just dice it up small.

Would ordinary pork sausages work okay in this recipe? Also I presume one has to dice up the sausages.

I haven't tried it yet. I want to make it for Easter, can you please tell me if you can prepare it ahead of time and freeze it?

This sounds great. I'm going to make this weekend - but I will use the sheets of crescent roll dough. No perfs to seal. Instead of Swiss cheese, why not provolone? Goes great with Italian sausage.

I've got some unused wonton squares in the freezer - I'm going to try this using those instead of the crescent rolls. I love little mini-quiches so this should become another favorite!

These are fabulous, I made them for a Church brunch and got outstanding raves.

These are so cute and easy... I had a mild Italian sausage so I minced up some giardiniera vegi along with the sausage and they were great... Next time I think I will try breakfast sausage and add a little chopped green chili.. I was able to get 32 ea.

This is a wonderful and easy recipe, but there was no way I could get 48 rounds cut from one tube of crescent rolls. I only got 24 rounds. So, a note for this recipe, unless you roll the dough paper thin, you need to get 2- 8oz tubes of crescent rolls.

can you make these ahead and freeze? beckyadurham?

Try monterey jack, cheddar will be fine, not runny....american is processed cheese, so it will be oily

Reviewed on Mar. 24, 2009 by jbenfield2

My family dislikes swiss cheese. Is there another cheese that would make a good substitution? I'm afraid cheddar would be too runny. Any thoughts on using American?
