Interestingly Enough, Real Men Do Eat Quiche

This recipe was an experiment gone great.  Its super easy and four dozen were gone in under ten minutes.  For really.  I almost got trampled taking the picture!

CRUSTLESS MINI SHRIMP QUICHES



Makes 4 dozen.

This recipe is best cooked in silicon mini muffin trays.  The quiches will just pop out after they are done cooking.

Ingredients:
3 eggs, beaten
2/3 c. cream
24 tiger prawns or large shrimp, raw, shelled and deveined, and cut in quarters
1/4 c. red peppers, diced finely
1 green onion, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
EVOO spray

Method:
-preheat oven to 350 degrees C
-in a bowl, combine the beaten eggs with the cream; season with salt and pepper if desired
-in a separate bowl, combine the peppers and onion
-lightly spray silicon mini muffin trays with EVOO spray
-in each well, place two pieces of shrimp
-on top of the shrimp, place a small amount of the vegetable mix (roughly a half a teaspoon); pat down to cover bottom of well
-pour egg mixture over vegetables and shrimp being careful not to over flow the wells
-bake for 15 minutes or until quiches are cooked through
-serve immediately

Note:  My cousin dipped his quiches in salsa... he highly recommends it.  I had to say that.  I promised.  CHA-BOI
