dscn0204We made little quiches in this great miniature muffin pan. Really simple.

Ingredient:

Crusts
6oz package cream cheese soft.
1 C butter
2 C Flour
Filling
about 5 oz broccoli diced (small) and steamed)
1/2 small onion diced and caramelized
1/4 favorite cheese finely shredded
3 eggs
1/2 C half & half
1 tsp salt

Combine cream cheese, butter and flour in mixing bowl. Blend well. Chill dough.

Shape into 24 (1-inch) balls. Place in ungreased tiny muffin pans. Press dough against bottom and sides. Drain broccoli.

Into each cup, spoon about 1 teaspoon broccoli and top with some cheese.

In a small bowl, mix cream, eggs, salt . Spoon about 1 teaspoon of egg mixture into each cup. Sprinkle extra cheese on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Yield: 24 quiches.

dscn0210I also made Dill Cream Cheese Cucumber Tea Sandwiches.

I took two loaves of plain white bread. I mixed about 4 to 6 TBSP pf chopped fresh dill with one 6 oz package softened cream cheese. I used about two skinned cucumbers sliced thin. (Yes some of these items weren’t local but I appreciate the convenience of California veggies.) Then I just assembly lined it. Layed out the bread, spread the cream cheese mixture on then layered the cucumbers on. Added the top and cut off the crust. Each sandwich was cut into four square. Made at least 24 sandwiches.

I failed to get a picture of the cake balls but they are easy. Just head on over to The Pioneer Woman and Bakerella. These are great blogs! The links are Halloween related but you can imagine the possibilities. Be warned this could be a time sucking link.

dscn0231I also made individual cakes for all the kids. I justed use a jumbo sized muffin tin and turned them over and covered then with the fondant. I used gel frosting to docorate and whala. BK wore her princess dress all day. She definately played Bell of the Ball very well.
