Quiche and Mini Quiche

2 tlbs. butter, softened

4 eggs

1 tsp. salt

1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/4 cup chopped green onion

1/2 cup diced red pepper or tomato

8 slices bacon, pre-cooked and cut up into pieces

1/2 cup swiss cheese

1 bottom of your favorite pie crust (frozen or Pillsbury rollouts work as well)

In a bowl, mix butter, eggs, salt flour and heavy cream until well blended.  Set aside.  In your favorite pie crust, pour in green onion, pepper (or tomato), bacon and swiss cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top of the veggies, meat and cheese until it reaches the brim of the pie crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until light golden brown and cooked through.

For mini quiche:

I used pillsbury refrigerated pie crust and cut out a 3.5" circle and line them in the bottom and sides of a muffin pan (I got 8 circles out of one pie round).  Fill each slot with a few of each o the onion, peppers, and bacon.  Pour egg mixture on top until it reaches the brim of the crust.  As they bake they will puff up and rise a little bit so don't fill too full.  top with cheese and bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.  Just make sure your crust is cooked through.
