Mini Chorizo and Cheese Quiches

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 24 mini muffin cups.

Step 2

Remove and discard casing from chorizo. Finely dice the sausage.

Step 3

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chorizo and cook until browned. Remove from heat to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

If using homemade dough, roll out thin (between 1/8- and 1/4-inch).

Step 5

Use a round 2 1/2-inch cutter to cut 24 rounds from the dough. Press 1 round into bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup.

Step 6

Divide cheese among muffin cups (about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons per cup). Top each with green onions then cooked chorizo.

Step 7

Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and nutmeg. Spoon evenly into crusts.

Step 8

Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes. Use the tip of a knife to lift quiches from cups.
