Corn and Bacon Mini Crustless Quiches

Hello Dear Reader,

These little quiches came about as I wanted to take something quite portable to have as part of a picnic with my sister and her grandchildren on a days outing. Well, while I was making these cute little quiches my sister rang to say that her plans had changed and the outing wouldn't be going ahead. Boo, I was so disappointed as I don't get to see my little family very often, we are all busy unfortunately.

These little quiches are quite delightful though and we had them for lunch the next day, I went with really soft flavours that would be child friendly but interesting enough for adult to love them too, I think I succeeded as they were polished off the very next day. You could easily double the recipe and freeze some for later and they are sturdy enough to carry for a school or work lunch as well.

Ingredients for Corn and Bacon Mini Crustless Quiches, clockwise from top right-
2 bacon rashers, sliced into small batons, 1/2 cup grated cheese plus extra for sprinkling over the top of mini quiches before baking, 1 spring onion, finely chopped, 3 tablespoons plain flour, 1 garlic clove, grated on a microplane, 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of cream (not pictured) and 140 gram creamed corn

Preheat oven to 175C. Sauté bacon until starting to crisp up, go golden and is cooked through, set aside to cool

In a large bowl, whisk 2 eggs until light and fluffy then add the flour and whisk again until lump free and smooth. Then add the other 2 eggs and whisk again until smooth and silky

Now add the creamed corn and the 2 tablespoons of cream

Again whisk until well combined

Add the cooled bacon

Spring onions and the grated cheese

Spoon into greased and lined muffin trays or use silicon muffin moulds like I did. I have had these silicon moulds for years and have used them countless times. Sprinkle a little of the reserved cheese over each mini quiche
