I had the pleasure of spending Christmas Eve at the home of some dear friends – Linette and Dan Hanson.  Besides some delicious homemade lasagna – Linette had made these great little mini quiches.  They were both delicious and cute!  Thanks for letting me shoot a photo and sharing the recipe, Linette!

Which reminds me – this food blog is by no means “exclusive”.  If you make some great food – it doesn’t have to be fancy or hard – simply shoot a photo and send it along with a recipe to me.  I’ll post for you!  Be sure to include a few lines about the recipe and anything special!  You can send to me at connie.knapp@fergusfallsjournal.com.

Mini Sausage Quiches

24-48 Servings (regular size or mini muffin pans)

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound bulk hot Italian sausage
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives
  • 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Paprika

Directions

  • In a large skillet, brown sausage and onion over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in chives.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll crescent dough into one long rectangle; seal seams and perforations.
  • Cut into 24 pieces (Linette used regular muffin size pans – 48 pieces if you are using mini muffin tins.)
  •  Press onto the bottom and up the sides of greased  muffin cups.
  • Fill each with about two tablespoons of sausage mixture.
  •  In a large bowl, combine the eggs and cheeses. Spoon over sausage mixture until about 1/2 full. Sprinkle with paprika.

  • Yield: 2 dozen muffin size or 48 minis.
