Bacon Quiche Tarts

Today I'm Making... Bacon Quiche Tarts

I feel like my breakfast menu is limited, I really only have a few go to things that I make over and over again. I decided this morning to expand my horizons. I combined my recipe for biscuits with this tart recipe making it even better.

Here's how I did it:

Ingredients: (6 Tarts)

• 
  
• 3 slices bacon
• 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 a package)
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped red onions
• 1/2 (10 ounce) can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough or make your own (which is cheaper and tastier)
• 
  
• Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Grease half a muffin pan (6 of the openings)
3. Cook the bacon (I bake it on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil at 375 for 10-15 minutes- then drain)
4. Mix the cream cheese, milk, and egg in a medium bowl. Stir in Swiss cheese and green onion, and set aside.
5. Separate biscuit dough into 6 portions (* See Below for recipe) Press into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup, forming little cups. Sprinkle the bacon into the bottoms of the dough-lined muffin cups. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into each cup.
6. Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until filling is set and rims of the tarts are golden brown. Serve Warm.

*Biscuit Recipe:

1. In a bowl mix: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon white sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt
2. Pour: 1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) melted butter and 1/2 cup milk into the dry mixture. Mix it all together into a dough.

Review:

These were easy to make (even if my husband can't read instructions properly) the biscuits really set them apart from other recipes I have tried. They would be great for a brunch or morning party and made for an excellent fancy Saturday breakfast. I think next time I might add a bit of seasoning- maybe rosemary or at least pepper. This is an easy recipe to modify, you can substitute: Sausage, mushrooms, spinach, different cheeses, jalapenos, garlic, green peppers as just a few examples to cater to different tastes.
