Gluten Free Smoky Ginger Quiche Bites Recipe
These delicious mini-quiches are both satisfyingly sweet and savory. The nutty Gruyere combined with a hint of smoke and fresh earthy spices are perfectly balanced with the crust made from Gluten Free Ginger Cookies with Sliced Almonds. This recipe is easily doubled to make 36-40 mini quiches or one 9-inch pie (***see baking notes at bottom of recipe for whole pie.).

Instructions

- Spoon about 1-2 Tablespoons of the mixture into each mini tart cup.
- Sprinkle turkey bacon over the tops of each quiche.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
