How to Make Mini Sausage Quiche Appetizers
- Lightly grease 36 miniature muffin tins.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 36 small balls (approximately 1 tablespoon each).
- Press one dough ball into the bottom and up the sides of each greased muffin cup.
- Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tins for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound spicy Italian sausage (or 1 pound mild Italian sausage + 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink.
- Drain off any excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly.
- Divide the cooked sausage evenly among the prepared tart shells.
- Sprinkle each quiche with 1 teaspoon shredded Swiss cheese and a pinch of chopped green onions.
- In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese in each tart shell.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese over each quiche.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are golden brown and set.
