Here’s a yummy recipe to serve for your next weekend brunch. Cheddar cheese and green chilies go perfectly with eggs, which makes Mini Mexican Quiche a great choice for your next weekend breakfast, brunch, or potluck. Or even as appetizers for a family gathering where finger foods are appreciated.
These mini quiche are best served warm. However, you can make them ahead and store covered in a refrigerator until needed. Then simply heat in a 350 degree oven for 7-10 minutes until warmed through.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Gather all of your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Spray miniature muffin pan with baking spray.
Using a box grater, shred the cheddar cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese. Add the all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture. Beat until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Shape the dough into 24 balls. Using a tart tamper (or your thumbs) press each ball into the bottom wells of the prepared miniature muffin pan.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of shredded cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of green chilies into each shell.
In a small bowl, whisk together the large eggs, whipping cream, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon egg mixture into the shells to fill.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving removing from the pan.

Christmas Wassail with Pomegranate Juice is a delicious mulled drink to enjoy during the holiday season. Sweetened with pomegranate, apple, and pineapple juice and flavored with cinnamon sticks, it’s good served hot or over ice.
Once it has mulled for the desired time, you may keep it warm in a slow cooker or simmer in a carafe over a low fire.
Pomegranate juice used to be hard to find, but is now readily available at Walmart or your local grocery store. I like to buy 100% pomegranate juice, but you might try a combination of cranberry-pomegranate or blueberry-pomegranate juice.
I’ve given the option to add as little or as much water to the drink as desired, up to a quart. This will help if you are serving a large crowd and need it to go a bit farther. Or you may simply desire a lighter drink that is not as strong. In the end, it’s all good.
Christmas Wassail is the perfect beverage to serve when you’re looking for a non-alcoholic drink for your guests. It’s also nice for a holiday brunch or tea party.
This drink is especially pretty served in glass mugs, such as Princess House Fantasia mugs, or in Irish coffee mugs.
To begin, gather all your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
In a large saucepan, combine pomegranate, apple, and pineapple juices.
Using a long-handled wooden spoon, stir in the frozen lemonade and cinnamon sticks. Bring the juices to a boil.
Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for one hour. Add water, up to a quart, as desired.
Serve in pretty coffee mugs either hot or cold over ice. This recipe makes about 4 quarts.
