Mini Crescent Sausage Quiches




Source of Recipe


My version of a recipe from tasteofhome.com


Recipe Introduction


The amounts of the ingredients in the original recipe are messed up. It is supposed to make 4 dozen mini quiches and calls for only one roll of Crescent dough. I couldn’t manage to get have that amount out of one roll. So, I’ve rewritten the recipe amounts. It is still a work in progress – I thought they were overly sausage-y and not eggy enough. And they are awfully fiddly. I used almost 2 rolls of dough, which made mine a little overly bready, I think. This is DEFINITELY a work in progress, but I think I can get them where I want them with a little more work.

List of Ingredients




1/2 pound bulk hot Italian sausage [I used breakfast sausage]
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 tubes (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dough sheet
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup 4% cottage cheese, whizzed up in a mini food processor
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Paprika


Recipe



Heat the oven to 375F.

Brown the sausage and dried onion in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks. When no longer pink, drain and stir in the chives. Cool and whiz in a mini food processor for a few seconds.
On a floured surface roll out the crescent dough into a rectangle. Cut with a 2-inch round cutter. Fit into the bottom and slightly up the sides of greased mini muffin cups.

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the sausage mixture [2 seemed just slightly too much to me] to each cup. In a bowl, mix the eggs and cheeses very well. Add salt and pepper. Spoon 2-3 teaspoons of this mixture over the sausage in each cup. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes – until a knife comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Serve warm.

NOTE: I slightly under-cooked these and reheated at 325F. They worked very well.

Makes about 3 dozen.
