Ground Beef Snack Quiches
My husband, Cory, farms, so supper can sometimes be quite late. A hearty appetizer like these meaty mini quiches is a perfect way to start the meal. They taste super made with ground beef, but I sometimes substitute bacon, ham, ground pork or sausage. —Stacy Atkinson, Rugby, North Dakota

These did taste good, and I liked the cornmeal crust, but they were just too much effort for tiny snacks that were sized for one bite. Also at this size, you really don't taste the ingredients since there are so little of them in each snack. (They may be sized for 2 bites, but the crust crumbled if you tried to bite it in half) To make the crust and form 12 of them, chop vegetables, brown meat plus make the quiche egg/cream filling, then grate cheese required too much time. I would recommend doubling the ingredients (at least) and using regular sized muffin tins if you want to try the recipe.
P.S. I sometimes use ham or pork sausage instead of hamburger. All are tasty.
I've made these mini quiche for many years; getting the recipe from a TOH magazine years ago. My family really likes them. I make them in advance and then freeze them. It takes just a few minutes to reheat them. I also made them as one of my New Year Eve's snacks. I especially like the cornmeal crust. It give a crunchy nutty texture. I misplaced the TOH magazine, so I'm thrilled to find the recipe online.
