Quiche cups are my showstopper potluck dish. Hash browns and Asiago cheese make up the crusts. Eggs, spinach and bacon do the rest. —Nicole Stone, Gilbertville, Iowa

Ingredients

1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese
FILLING:
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1/3 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1/3 cup fresh baby spinach, thinly sliced
2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

In a bowl, whisk egg, salt and pepper until blended; stir in potatoes and Asiago cheese. To form crusts, press about 1/4 cup potato mixture onto bottom and up sides of each prepared muffin cup. Bake until light golden brown, 14-17 minutes.
For filling, in a small bowl, whisk eggs and chives until blended; stir in cheese and spinach. Spoon into crusts; top with bacon. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 6-8 minutes.
Freeze option:Freeze cooled baked tarts for up to 3 months. To use, reheat tarts on a baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven until heated through, 5-10 minutes.

Can these be made in the mini size muffin tins? The direction state to grease 8 muffin cups, but the nutritional info states 2 mini size. Can anyone determine which pan is to be use. I think the mini's would be great for a breakfast buffet.

Do you think these could be made adding fresh shredded potato instead of the frozen hash browns? I always have plenty of potatoes around and not the frozen hash browns! ?????

We made these for our mother's brunch. We doubled the recipe and they still disappeared. It was nice to use fresh chives from the garden. My husband and I were thinking they could have used more egg mixture in each cup. I even made some vegetarian with morningstar tofu bacon.
