I give this recipe 5 stars because this is exactly what I was looking for-a cute, bite-sized quiche. It was a little bland for me, even after adding hot sauce, but as other reviewers suggested, you can add whatever you like. Since it is a tad labor-intensive, I tweeked the technique. Portion out the dough right into a 24-count mini-muffin tin so you can adjust to make them all equal. After rolling into balls and cooling, smash each ball with a shot glass dipped in flour. This forms each ball into a perfect tart. Much easier than using your fingers.

These are great for any party and freeze extremely well! I added some browned, crumbled spicy sausage which really boosted the flavor. Delicious!!

These are really good, but I think they taste more like a breakfast food. I did add the spicy meat like others suggested. I think you would be able to make more than 24 of these. You need to make sure your "dough cups" are pretty deep so the egg mixture does not over flow. I was afraid I would not have enough room when adding the egg mixture so I mixed the green chilis in the egg mixture. Like I said, these were very good but I think would be best served for breakfast or brunch. Oh... and I was also confused by how much cream cheese to use. It says 1 package, but then says 3 oz so I used 1/2 of a block of cream cheese so that would be 4 oz. I don't know if that was the right amount, but turned out fine.

I made these today for my daughter's wedding shower, since it was cinco de Mayo. I didn't make any changes, and everyone said "you made these?" Served with Amy's cilantro cream sauce, a great combo

Absolutely sensational! My party friends loved it! I added sausage...it gave it a nice extra flavor that my husband loved. I will keep this recipe for life! The only down fall is that it's a little time consuming...but well worth it!

I made in regular size muffin tins - was expecting a real WOW and thought they were a little bland. It is possible that the proportions were off and affected the overall goodness of the recipe? I don't see how you can go wrong with anything that has that much cream cheese - and i love green chilies...

While this is a great recipe it is not really made in a mini muffin tin; With these recipe guidelines it fits better into a regular muffin tin.
