CHICKEN QUICHE

Makes 32 narrow wedges

For an attractive and professional presentation, make miniature quiches by lining the inside bottom of your muffin pans with pie dough, forming little tart shells. Then add the filling. I see a lot of these at Washington parties.

1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened

2 pie shells (approximately 9″)

1 cup cooked chicken cut in small pieces

1 cup grated Swiss cheese

12 slices crisp, cooked bacon, crumbled

4 eggs, slightly beaten

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Preheat oven to 425oF. Rub butter or margarine on pie shells. Put chicken, grated cheese and bacon in pie shells. In a mixing bowl combine all remaining ingredients and pour into shells. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 300oF and bake 40 minutes longer. Cut in narrow pie wedges for serving.
