Gluten Free Smoky Ginger Quiche Bites image

These delicious mini-quiches are both satisfyingly sweet and savory. The nutty Gruyere combined with a hint of smoke and fresh earthy spices are perfectly balanced with the crust made from Gluten Free Ginger Cookies with Sliced Almonds. 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.).
