My great-grandmother was known for making these for all of her dinner parties and cocktail parties. They make excellent appetizers, and you can make them ahead of time and keep them frozen. Prep time does not include the time needed for the dough to chill. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Note- this is also a great base recipe to which you can easily add other favorite ingredients — I have prepared bacon and diced fresh tomato variation, a ham and onion variation, and a sun-dried tomato and mushroom version by dicing up the desired ingredients and adding them to the cheese (using a little less cheese to make room for all of it to fit into the cups). The possibilities are endless!

24 tiny quiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour
1 large egg

paprika, to taste

Directions

1
Cream butter and cream cheese together.

Use your hands to work in the flour.

Chill dough for about 30 minutes.

7

Drizzle egg mixture over the cheese.

Sprinkle with paprika.
10
Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Delicious and easy too! DH and I each sampled one, then froze the rest. Made as posted. I lined mine with paper and had trouble getting the paper off so my photo is not neat looking, maybe I baked them too long? Love the history behind your recipe, Starrynews. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.

Oh Starry, these are wonderful! The crust is light, and delicious!! One that I will use for other quiches as well. I made half with fresh asparagus, and the other half with fresh brocolli and mushrooms. I'll be making this again for our Easter Brunch. Thank you Starry!! Made for Potluck Tag

I thought these "tiny" quiches were divine! (-: Easy and so very yummy. I really loved the crust. Sorry, no photo as they were gone before I could locate the camera. Would make great Sunday brunch nibbles. Made for PAC Spring 2009. Thanks for posting such an awesome recipe.
