Step 2: Cook your bacon. You'll need about 3-4 strips for this recipe. Crumbled cooled, cooked strips into small pieces. You could substitute sausage, ham, or peppers and spinach (chopped small) . 

Step 3: Whisk together eggs, half n' half, and seasonings. You can use substitute half milk, half heavy cream if you don't have half n' half. 

Step 4: Remove pastry dough from fridge. Separate dough into 24 equal pieces and roll into balls. Each ball will weigh about 13g, if you want to keep them very uniform. Place balls into two non-greased mini muffin pans (The butter in the dough will keep them from sticking). Press down on each one with a dough tamp, a pestle, or your fingers to mold them to the shape of the pan. Just make sure to dip the tool in flour each time, to prevent sticking. 

Step 5: Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar into each crust. Top with a small amount of bacon pieces, or your addition of choice. Spoon roughly a tablespoon of the egg mixture into each crust. 

Step 6: Bake mini quiches at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool completely, and then use a knife to gently run around the top edge of each crust - they should lift easily out of the pan when you do this. 

Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or oven.
