Mini Onion Quiches

pre-made puff pastry or pie crust
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grated Swiss cheese (I also tried parmesan and it was good)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Cut small round pieces of pre-made puff pastry or pie crust and divide among mini muffin tins that have been sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray. Saute onion for 10 minutes in 2 tablespoons butter. Cool, then divide evenly on top of pre-made puff pastry or pie crust. Beat eggs; add milk, salt, pepper, and cheese. Pour by spoonfuls on top of onions in tins. Do not fill to top, as they will run over. Bake until set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not over bake. May be stored in refrigerator or freezer. Warm in oven before serving.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates

1 pound (about 12 to 13 slices) bacon, preferably thick-cut
25 dates (about 3/4 pound)
blue cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut the bacon in half lengthwise to make twice as many slices. Set aside. Slice the dates on one side and insert a small amount of blue cheese in the middle of the date. Repeat with remaining dates. Wrap the stuffed dates with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick through the belly of the date. Arrange all the prepared dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing at least a little space between each one for good browning. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is browned and crispy. Remove from the baking sheet and gently remove toothpicks. Serve immediately.
