Quickie
Kiddie Quiches
Makes 24

Tools:
Muffin tins
Pastry or paint brush
Water in a small dish
Whisk
Medium bowl
Ingredients:
Won ton wrappers (48 squares)
Cooking spray
5 eggs
1 cup skim milk
5Tbl flour
8 oz. shredded cheese (Swiss or sharp are best)
Salt and Pepper
Garnish (any herb you like ripped into teeny pieces)
Optional mix-ins: diced ham, mushrooms,
broccoli- or anything else you like to add to
your eggs. Be sure to let your grown-up help you
with chopping.
Let your grown-up pre-heat the oven
to 350 degrees F.
Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
Place one wonton wrapper into a muffin cup so
that it covers one-half of the bottom and one
side, allowing a little of the wrapper to extend
past the top of the muffin cup, and mold it gently
into the shape of the muffin cup. Paint the wonton
wrapper very lightly with water so that the second
wonton wrapper will seal nicely to the first wonton
wrapper. Place the second wonton wrapper on the
bottom and up the opposite side of the muffin
cup so that you overlap the first wonton wrapper
slightly, then mold gently. Repeat with each muffin
cup.
With a whisk, whip eggs, milk and
flour in a medium bowl until nicely blended and
thick (about 30 seconds). Add salt and pepper
to taste and blend for a few seconds. Fold in
cheese. Fold in any optional mix-ins you might
like.
Using a large spoon, put about 2-3
tablespoons of the egg mixture into each wonton
cup. Depending on what optional mix-ins you add,
the egg mixture will make 24 small or 24 large
quiches. Just don’t fill the wonton cups
all the way to the rim, because the egg mixture
will expand during baking.
Bake 12-15 minutes until wontons
are golden brown and quiche is set. Let your grown-up
remove quiches from the oven. Sprinkle the tops
with garnish while cheese is still melty. Allow
to cool fully in muffin tins, and then remove
with your fingers to a serving dish.
