Mini Quiche

makes 12 pieces

Ingredients
1 roll refrigerated pie crust
6 eggs
1/3 cup half and half
3 cloves minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Filling ingredients of your choice (meat, cheese, veggies, herbs)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray the wells of 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. Whisk together the eggs, half and half, garlic, salt and pepper and set aside.
3. Unroll the pie dough and cut out twelve 3" circles. You will have to smash all the scraps together and roll them out to get the last few circles cut out, but you will have enough dough. Place one dough circle into the bottom of each muffin cup.
4. Prepare filling ingredients and place ~2 tablespoons of filling per muffin cup.
5. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of the egg mixture over the filling ingredients in each muffin cup.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from muffin cups and let cool a few minutes before serving.
