Description

Ingredients

• 6 eggs, well beaten
• ½ cup Carnation 2% evaporated milk (adds nice creaminess but you can use milk)
• 1½ cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar (I grate my own Cabot or Sargento)
• 2 green onions, white and light part, finely minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
• a few grates of nutmeg (buy a couple of whole nutmeg to grate into egg dishes... so good!)
• 4 slices bacon, diced - cut cold bacon into ½ dice, then cook until crisp, drain
• Special equipment: having a silicon muffin pan is cool as you can make these in all shapes, but a regular one is fine too.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray muffin tin with non stick vegetable spray if not using silicon pan.
• Combine the eggs, milk, 1 cup cheese, green onion, salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.
• Pour into muffin cups. Top each quiche bite with a bit of shredded cheese and bacon bits. Bake until just set near center but still have soft jiggle. Allow to cool before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
