Gluten Free Ham & Cheese Quiche Bites image

These delicious mini-quiches are both satisfyingly sweet and savory. Fresh earthy spices and savory Colby-Jack cheese are perfectly balanced with the crust made from Pamela's Gluten Free Pecan Shortbread cookies. This recipe is easily doubled to make 36-40 mini quiches or one 9-inch pie (***see baking notes at bottom of recipe for whole pie.).
