These Southwestern Mini Quiches are delightful for breakfast, brunch, snacks, or a side served with a big bowl of soup or salad! Adapted from Bush’s Beans.
Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray 2, 24-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
Using a 2½ inch round cutter, cut 12 circles from each sheet of pie crust. Press 1 pie crust round into bottom and up sides of muffin cup. Repeat until all cups have pie crust.
Place 1 teaspoon of cheese in each muffin cup. Divide beans between each muffin cup (approximately ½ tablespoon per cup) and top with about ½ teaspoon of pepper.
Combine eggs and half & half and beat until well blended. (Add optional hot sauce or corn chili salsa). Pour mixture into crusts, filling ¼ inch to top.
Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Cool 2 minutes. With tip of knife, lift quiches from cups. Serve warm.
