Ingredient List
Crusts:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (1 oz)
Filling:
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 can (4 oz) chopped green chiles, drained
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 oz)
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, mix butter and cream cheese until smooth. Cut in the 1 cup flour with a fork to create pea-size crumbles. Add the Cheddar cheese, mixing well. Form mixture into a large dough ball. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
- Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces. Press each ball down flat across the bottom of each of 24 non-stick mini-muffin cups.
- Combine eggs, yoghurt, salt, pepper, and chiles. Mix well. Toss 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese in the 1 tablespoon of flour. Fold cheese into egg mixture. Divide egg mixture evenly over dough in muffin cups. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until quiches are golden brown on top and set in the middle.
