BACON AND MUSHROOM BITE-SIZE QUICHE

Found online at http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/844.shtml. The recipe starts with, "Tender, cheesy and savory custards in flaky pastry shells make elegant finger food-and can be made ahead and reheated. Delicious for brunch or evening appetizers." Makes 3-1/2 dozen; serving size: 1 quiche.

Ingredients

8 slices bacon

1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

1/3 cup green onion, chopped

1 2/3 cups Swiss cheese, shredded

Pastry for double-crust pie, (homemade or purchased)

5 eggs

1 2/3 cups sour cream

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

On a lightly floured board, roll out the pastry dough 1/ 16-inch thick.

Using a 3-inch cutter, cut out 42 circles; re-roll scraps as needed. Fit circles into bottoms and slightly up sides of lightly greased 2-1/2-inch muffin pans.

Meanwhile, fry bacon slices until crisp, drain; crumble or chop. Chop mushrooms, saute in butter until limp and liquid evaporates. Combine bacon, mushrooms, green onion and cheese. Divide filling equally among muffin cups.

Serve warm or let cool on wire racks. If made ahead, wrap cooled quiches airtight, and refrigerate overnight.

Reheat, uncovered, in a 350 degrees F. oven for about 10 minutes.

More Diabetic Recipes

Many people, upon learning that they have diabetes, have three immediate questions: How will this change my life? What medications will I need to take? What can I safely eat?

The first two questions are best answered by your doctor, nurse-practitioner, or health care provider, while the third question can be answered by the Registered Dietician that your health care provider has hopefully put you in touch with.

One website that I discovered with my better-half was first diagnosed is Diabetic Gourmet.

Here are some yummy recipes. Enjoy!
