SAUSAGE AND SWISS MINI QUICHES

Sausage and Swiss Mini Quiches image

I created my little heavenly morsels for a holiday party. They were so tasty, adorable that my family and friends ask for them by name. I find the mascarpone makes the quiches extra rich, but you can substitute cream cheese if you like.-Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri
