MINI BACON CHEESE QUICHE WITH PUFF PASTRY
Steps:
- Heat a little oil in a medium frying pan and cook bacon until brown. When cooked, place the bacon on absorbent paper and cool. Dice the bacon into tiny pieces and put them aside for later.
- Finely slice the spring onion and grate the cheese. Put these aside.
- Next, prepare the wet filling. In a medium bowl (or jug) mix the heavy cream, milk, and eggs until well combined, season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Lightly grease the insides of the mini muffin tin.
- If your puff pastry comes unrolled, you will need to roll it out thin before cutting into rounds. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles of dough to line the insides of the mini muffin tins.
- Place the rounds in the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Carefully push the pastry to the bottom of the cups and gently press the pleated pastry to the sides. The pastry should be level with the top of the muffin tin. Note: You don't need to blind bake the pastry before adding the filling.
- Divide the onions, bacon, and cheese evenly between the pasty-lined muffin cups.
- Carefully pour the creamy egg filling into each of the muffin cups. The liquid should be level with the top of the muffin tin.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to stand in the tins for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Roll each piece of bread to thinly flatten.
- Microwave the butter with a large pinch of salt in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the butter.
- Make the toast bowls: Gently press a slice of bread inside a cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. The bottom and sides of the bread should be flush against the cup; pleat the sides of the bread as needed to fit. Repeat with the remaining bread, filling every other muffin cup so that the bread bowls do not touch. Bake, rotating about halfway through, until lightly browned and crispy in spots, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, eggs, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
- Put the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Keep the bacon drippings in the skillet and adjust the heat to low.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook the eggs, stirring and scraping the sides of the skillet as needed, until small curds form and the eggs are just set, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold in the cheese until almost completely melted.
- Divide the hot eggs among the toast bowls and top with the crispy bacon. Serve with hot sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Core the tomatoes and thinly slice. Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let drain for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off and reserve the drippings, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet; toast the bread on one side in the drippings until golden (do this in batches, adding more drippings as needed). Place the bread, toasted-side down, on a baking sheet.
- Combine the cheeses with the mayonnaise, scallions and parsley in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture on the toasts, reserving about 1/3 cup. Crumble the bacon on top. Shake any excess liquid from the tomatoes; distribute the zucchini and tomatoes among the toasts. Dot with the reserved cheese mixture and season with pepper. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Stir together cheese, bacon, onion, horseradish, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula until blended well.
- Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mixture evenly to edges of each slice of bread with a small offset spatula or butter knife. Arrange slices in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and freeze, covered with wax paper, until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Trim crusts off bread and reserve for another use (see cooks' note, below), then cut each slice into 4 squares. Bake toasts on baking sheet until beginning to brown on edges, about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for thick-cut bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and fresh bread.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the toasts so they can cook evenly.
- Bake the toasts until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the toasts immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
- For a fun twist, try using different types of bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat. You can also add other toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, avocado, or a fried egg.

Mini bacon and cheese toasts are a quick and easy snack or appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together.
