Mini Bacon and Spinach Quiches (Nikki)

These quiches are super quick and easy and great as appetizers, or work well with salad for a light lunch.
You can use regular or filo pastry - whatever you have on hand.  If using filo, you'll need to use about 3-4 layers and brush melted butter between each layer. In place of bacon, you can use any of your favourite veges - eg grilled peppers, asparagus, or try spinach and feta instead of parmesan.

Mini Quiches (makes 24 or 12 medium sized)
1 sheet of ready made puff pastry [or a roll of filo pastry]
4 eggs
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated tasty cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 rashers bacon 
1/2 cup cooked spinach (fresh or frozen)
good handful chopped fresh herbs eg basil, thyme, Italian parsley
Salt and pepper

Grease a 24 serve or 2 x 12 muffin trays.

Grill/fry bacon and chop finely.
In a bowl beat eggs and combine with cream, milk, herbs, salt and pepper.
Roll out pastry on a floured board with rolling pin and cut circles with scone cutter/glass to fit inside and most of the  way up a mini muffin tin. [I use an old port glass and then roll out a little more].
Fill each case with 1 tsp of cooked spinach, some cheese, bacon and then fill to 3/4 full with cream/milk mix - do not overfill as they will rise when cooking!  Top with grated Parmesan.
Bake at 350F for approx 15 mins or until pastry is golden.
Let cool in tin and then gently remove.
