How to Make Cheese Vegemite Mini Quiches

  1. Preheat oven to 210°C (410°F).
  2. Butter 6 slices of bread and spread each very thinly (almost transparently) with 1/2 teaspoon of Vegemite.
  3. Gently press the bread slices, Vegemite-side up, into the cups of a non-stick 6-cup muffin tin.
  4. Cook 4 slices of bacon, chopped, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms in a frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until bacon is crispy and mushrooms are softened.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, cooked bacon and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon the egg mixture evenly into the prepared bread cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the quiches are set and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or cold.
