MINI QUICHE APPETIZERS

Crust:
1 cup butter or margarine
2 (3 ounce) pkgs. cream cheese
2 cups flour

Beat butter and cream cheese. Gradually add flour. Chill. Form into marble-sized balls and press into greased small tart pans.

Put a teaspoon of diced ham or cooked, crumbled bacon (bottled bacon works, too) in each of the tart pans.

Mince and saute an onion in 2 tsp of margarine. Add 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese. Mix it up and spoon a bit on top of the bacon or ham in the pastry cups.

Uncooked custard:
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
a touch of nutmeg
a dash of pepper

Spoon evenly into cups. Don t overfill (it puffs up.) Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes and then reduce temperature to 375 degrees and bake 15 minutes until custard sets and quiches are golden brown.
