MUM'S LEMON TEA CAKES

MINI QUICHES WITH OUT A CRUST

MINI QUICHES WITH OUT A CRUST

5 Free range eggs
½ a small grated onion
1 cup grated cheese
Sundried tomato strips
Salt and pepper

I use a muffin pan for this – you can either make lots of tiny ones or about 8 medium size ones.
Beat eggs, grated onion, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined
Divide grated cheese and sundried tomatoes evenly between the muffin cases
Spoon the egg mixture on top
Bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until quiches are golden (they should puff up quite a bit)
