Mini Quiche Ingredients

Chives- these should be sliced thin before adding. You could also use sliced green onions.
Eggs - any kind of large eggs will work great.
Swiss Cheese- this should be shredded Swiss cheese, or you could substitute another cheese if you prefer. Mozzarella would taste great.
Ricotta Cheese - this adds flavor as well as extra creaminess to the quiche. You can use whole milk or low fat ricotta.
Parmesan Cheese- freshly grated or shredded is best. You could substitute gruyere cheese.
Refrigerated Crescent Rolls- using a can of crescent rolls is a great way to make a simple crust. If you want to make crustless mini quiche you can skip this.
Filling - if you want to add another ingredient for a filling, add about 1 tablespoon of meat or ingredients for a flavor variation on top of each dough square. The ingredients shouldn't overfill the mini muffin tins. Don't fill past the lip of the muffin tin.
