What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? All the Buzz: Quiche Cheese Minis! Cheese can be a weakness, in my opinion. Mostly because there are so many kinds. Think about it: Aggiano, Brie, Cheddar, Danablu, Emmental, Feta, Gouda, Havarti…and the list goes on. I could probably eat my way through the alphabet in CHEESE alone. Wouldn’t that be interesting? Some experts say cheese is bad for you. I disagree. After all, look at the French. Their diet is filled with cheese, baguettes, and wine. Did you know people in France have low rates of coronary heart disease? “By some estimates, the average French person eats 57 pounds of cheese each year—while the average American eats a measly 34.”* My husband and I visited France where we truly enjoyed the superb food and spectacular culture. And became ultimate cheese lovers.
QUICHE CHEESE MINIS
Ingredients:
1 tube of crescent rolls
8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese, softened
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
3 eggs
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/4 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 cup Smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease muffin tin with nonstick spray. Place one triangle dough in each muffin cup. Beat Neufchâtel cheese, Greek yogurt, and butter until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time beating well to combine. Stir in chopped onion, sun-dried tomatoes, Herbs de Provence, sea salt, and pepper. Gently fold in Gouda cheese. Spoon into muffin cups. Do not overfill. (If you have extra filling, no worries, you can make a couple crustless mini quiches.) Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and center is set. Remove quiche minis and serve warm.

We have all these studies that do not take into account the fact that too many Americans consume way too much processed food. Leave cheese alone, dammit! LOL.
These mini quiches are THE perfect brunch idea.
