Mini Quiches

In the summers my family and I usually go to France to visit our family friends who are French. While there sometimes the house keeper makes quiche. Her quiche is the best quiche I have ever had in my life. It is so cheesy and amazing. When my grandma decided to get me a mini pie maker set I started to make mini quiches and other kinds of pie. I hope that you find my quiche as yummy as I do! (this recipe makes about 24 mini quiches using the mini pie maker set)

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter (cubed)
6 tablespoon ice water

Filling:
2 eggs
2 strips bacon (chopped)
1/4 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper


Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees. Then add the flour, salt, and butter into the food processor. Then in a bowl add water a few ice cubes and slowly add the water (not the ice cubes) one tablespoon at a time slowly while the food processor until the mixture is combined.
Once the mixture resembles flakes use your hands and turn the mixture into a ball and put into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until time of use. While the dough is in the refrigerator cook the bacon either in the microwave for 3 minutes or in a pan until crispy then chop it into small pieces. Then put the cut up bacon into a bowl and crack the eggs into the bowl and add cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mix the egg mixture until combined and set aside. Take the dough out and roll out until about 1/4 of an inch thick.

 Either use a muffin tray or the mini pie maker to bake the mini quiches.

 Put the cut dough into the muffin tray or mini pie maker and cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Then take out of the oven and add the egg mixture and put back in for another ten minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked completely cooked.

Take out of the oven and let the quiches cool for 10 minutes.

Once they have cooled for ten minutes enjoy!
