MINI-QUICHE TARTS

FOR THE DOUGH MIXTURE:
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups self-rising flour
FOR THE QUICHE MIXTURE:
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp
3 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard (optional)

TO PREPARE THE DOUGH:
Mix butter and cream cheese together. Add flour and mix to form a soft dough. Chill at least 1 hour.

Form the dough into approximately 60 walnut-size balls. Place each ball in a miniature muffin pan. Use a miniature tart shaper rolled in flour to press each ball into the miniature muffin pan (or press dough down with fingers). Set aside.

TO PREPARE THE QUICHE MIXTURE:
Combine the ingredients for the quiche mixture. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon into each miniature muffin section.

Bake at 350 degrees F 15-20 minutes or until brown.
