These hors d'oeuvres are quick to prepare, so you have more time with
friends. They're also easier to handle than slices of a large
quiche--making them ideal finger food.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease one tray of 24 mini-muffin cups
(1-3/4 x 1"). In a small saucepan, melt butter over moderate heat.
Add bell pepper and onion; saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove
the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a medium-size bowl, combine eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the bell pepper and onions. Spoon about 1 tb of the mixture
into each muffin cup. The mixture will fill 18 to 22 cups.
Bake until the centers are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the quiches cool
for 1 minute. Using a knife, loosen the quiches around the edges and
remove from the cups. Arrange them on a platter and serve.
