cheese/leek appetizer





List of Ingredients





1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1-1/2 cups leeks, sliced thinly
2 teaspoons olive oil
12 ounces bacon, fried crisp, crumbled
2/3 cup half-and-half (light cream)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
(2) 12 cup mini muffin tins

Recipe




Roll pastry to 10x18-inch. Cut out (24) 2-1/2-inch rounds; fit into sprayed mini muffin tins.

In a skillet over medium-high heat sauté leeks in oil until tender but not brown. Transfer to a small bowl with bacon, cream, cheese, egg, egg yolk, thyme, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix ingredients and spoon 1 tablespoon quiche mixture into each mini muffin cup.
