Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚. Roll out 1 sheet of pie dough on a lightly floured surface until very thin and about 14 inches in diameter. Cut out 12 rounds with a 2 3/4- to 3-inch cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining sheet of pie dough. Press the rounds firmly into each cup of a 24-cup mini-muffin pan (preferably nonstick). Lightly prick the bottoms and sides with a fork.
- Bake the crusts until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then finely chop. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Sprinkle the bacon in the bottom of each crust. Fill with the egg mixture and top with chives. Bake until just set, about 15 minutes (it's OK if some egg leaks through the pastry). Let cool 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange tart shells in 2 muffin tins; line shell each with a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake shells in the preheated oven until edges of crusts are lightly browned and about 75% cooked, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble when cooled.
- Divide 1 cup Swiss cheese, bacon, and green onions evenly into the tart shells.
- Whisk eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Ladle egg mixture into each tart shell about 2/3 full. Top each tart with the remaining 1/4 cup Swiss cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until egg is set in the middle of each tart and shells are browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface until very thin. Cut out circles that are 1cm larger in diameter than the tartlet tins. Line the tins with the pastry circles (you may need to bake these in batches if you do not have enough tins) pressing into the edges and up the sides. Re-roll any pastry offcuts until you've lined all the tins, then chill for 30 mins (if you're baking in batches, chill the off-cuts too).
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line each pastry case with a piece of foil and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 10 mins, then lift out the foil and beans and bake for another 5 mins. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a little oil until crisp.
- Divide the bacon and half the cheese between the cases. Beat the eggs and cream together, then pour over the bacon and cheese until the cases are almost full. Scatter over the remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool, then chill before serving. Can be made a day ahead.

MINI PASTA, PEA AND BACON QUICHES
These are a healthy and super easy snack for the lunchbox, or would look fantastic on a platter for a party. This is the recipe I made originally, but to make them healthier I omit the cheese and use only 2 whole eggs and the remaining egg whites to significantly reduce the fat count. They're still very tasty! Try varying the flavours... chopped capsicum and sundried tomatoes are great for a dinner party, or try corn and grated carrot for kids.

POTATO AND BACON CRUSTLESS QUICHE
This is a wonderfully flavorful, light, and creamy quiche which is very hearty and stick-to-your-ribs thanks to the addition of the diced potato! I like to bake up a couple extra potatoes any time I'm baking some and keep them in the refrigerator, for recipes just like this one! You can change up the cheese to any flavor you'd prefer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a deep dish pie pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine eggs, cream, milk, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together until well blended. Dice baked potatoes. Stir potatoes and Cheddar cheese into egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove and sprinkled the cooked, chopped bacon over the top. Return to the oven to continue to bake until the middle is cooked through and no longer very jiggly (a little bit of wiggle is ok - but eggs should be cooked through), 15 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool and set for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crusts for 5-7 minutes before filling.
- To save time, use a pre-made pie crust or puff pastry.
- Don't overfill the quiche cups, as they will puff up during baking.
- Bake the quiches until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the quiches cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese before serving.
