These delicious mini-quiches are both satisfyingly sweet and savory. The nutty Gruyere and fresh earthy spices are perfectly balanced with the crust made from Pamela's Gluten Free Lemon Shortbread cookies. 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.). Ingredients:
0.5 (7 1/4 ounce) package lemon shortbread cookies (pamela's gluten-free brand recommended) |

1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon |
1/2 cup turkey bacon (gluten-free, cooked and crumbled) |
Directions:
1. Crush the cookies in food processor or large Ziplock bag, then stir in melted butter.
2. Put 1 teaspoon cookie mixture into 18-22 mini tart or mini muffin cups. Tamp down with thumb or tart press to create a bottom crust.
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients except the turkey bacon.
4. Spoon about 1-2 Tablespoons of the mixture into each mini tart cup.
5. Sprinkle turkey bacon over the tops of each quiche.
