A breakfast fit for me

So this morning I woke up to find that it was a wonderful day, here in Australia a wonderful day is when there is only a few wisps of cloud in the sky and the breeze is cool to take away from the enduring heat of the day. So I thought to myself what will I have today and I came up with quiche but not any old quiche so I made mini Bacon and Tomato Quiche's

This recipe could be used exactly the same for a large quiche but I just decided I would make smaller portions and you can keep them for a snack for anytime of the day hot or cold they are always a treat.

•  3/4 cup of Milk
• 1 cup of Cottage Cheese
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup of mozzarella 
• 12 Cherry Tomatoes 
• 200 g of Bacon diced, rind removed 
• 2 sheets of frozen or fresh puff pastry 
• Cooking spray to grease the muffin tray or tart tin
• a small handful of Chives finely sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste 

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 180 degrees Celsius fan forced. Spray the muffin tin or tart tin with the cooking spray and with the puff pastry cut out 11 cm rounds place them into the muffin tin and press down, you may have to gather the remaining pastry and re-roll it to make 12 of these pastry cases.

Place the cases in the oven and allow to cook for 5 minutes, meanwhile combine the milk, cottage cheese and eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk until combined season with salt and pepper. Also in a small frying pan fry the bacon pieced until caramel in colour and set aside.

Remove the pastry cases from the oven and with a small spoon press the pastry down that has puffed. Place a small amount of bacon in the cases to that they sit on the bottom leave 1/4 of the bacon for later use, now pour the egg mixture into the cases until just below the pastry line. Pop one of the tomatoes into each of the mini quiches and then sprinkle with the mozzarella, place into the oven for 15 minutes or until the filling has set.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin arrange on platter or single serving plates and sprinkle the bacon and chives on top serve immediately or omit this last step and put into airtight containers for a yummy little snack.

Okay well I hope anyone reading this enjoys the recipe and tries to make it themselves and I am sure it will be a crowd pleaser this recipe can be doubled infinitely to make as many of these wonderful little treats as you want and I hope you all just have fun and enjoy yourself when cooking these Bacon and Tomato Mini Quiches.
